Yesterday we took a day trip to the dead sea - translated from Yam Hamelach ( sea of salt). Its an amazing place that ive visited many times... its like being in another world. Being the lowest point on earth where the water is literally full of salt...it is so silent and calm..with the rugged mountains on one side and a hazy view of Jordan across the water on the other... its quite hard to describe the feeling there...so here are some pics...

I must visit the Dead Sea one day!
I have been to the dead sea only once. I loved it which is funny because I dislike the desert and hot weather. It's been ten years since I was last there and lately I've been having the strangest urge to return. We went on a day tour of it and though we had time to float in the water, I would like to have had the time to just hang out there a little longer.
I carry the skin care line Ahava in my store which we found on the trip there. So when I use their products I feel like I'm putting a little magic on my skin.
But nothing compares to being there in person.
So you're in Israel right now? My father lives there and I haven't heard from him in a while. I just e-mailed him to see if he's alright. He's in Herzelia. Do you feel pretty safe where you are? Isn't most of the trouble near the border of Lebanon?
Anyway, I enjoyed your pictures!
do you go swimming there? its suppose to be good for ailments and great for your skin!
and the high salt content makes people bobble up and down, u cant sink!
When I was in Israel I got some dead sea salt soap!
I've never been there but the idea of it being silent and calm is exactly what I feel when I look at the pictures.
Sorry for calling it a beach. I know it isn't a place you can swim but for me it still is water and sky and bright light...
i know people who go and bathe for health benefits.
beautiful.
