The geology of Eilat Mountains combines igneous and metamorphic rocks. Rocks that rose due to the Syro-African Depression, and sandstone and limestone created in the interminable process of erosion, transfer, sedimentation and hardening. The different layer directions and twisted corrugations make you dizzy. The strong colors, from light brown, through the yellows, reds to black, offer a feast to the eyes. The photographs were taken during several treks in Eilat Mountains, the most recent one in January 2010.

It is the people – with their outstanding friendliness, diverse lifestyles, and spectacular cultural shows (Singsings) – who make Papua New Guinea such a remarkable place. My trip took me to incredible anthropological encounters in remote villages, demanding treks, and magnificent diving sites. I spent two fascinating months in Papua New Guinea, from July till September 2009.

The eastern entrance to the Jordanian site of Petra through The Siq (the shaft), stimulated me also in my third visit. A narrow gorge of about 100 meters deep opens in a dramatic view of Al Khazneh (The Treasury), hewn gloriously into the cliff. We climbed to the top of the mountains, descended in the narrow ravines, and admired the rock-cut architecture, the colorful sandstone formations, and the Bedouins who utilize the ancient Nabataean constructions. The photographs in the gallery were taken during my recent visit in April 2009.
