Looking for new places to photograph, I decided to try the Jerusalem Mountains. Although not very high (less than 1000m ASL), this area has beautiful scenery thanks to the vast forests and the climate, which - although only 30 minutes away - is completely different than the one in the coastal areas of Israel.

 Earlier this week I've participated in a TEDx event in Jerusalem, so I took this opportunity to search for a proper place to shoot from. Last night (13.12.12) I decided to take the chance and try to go there this morning, although it was supposed to be raining. I didn't know what to expect, so I packed a rain poncho and some camera protection, which prooved useful... After two hours on the spot, amazing views and several frightened deers, I decided to call it a day and go back home, hopefully to come back soon enough...
