Description
amazing Israel - Apocalyptic Path - Machtesh Ramon ISRAELfrom a trip (today) in Machtesh Ramon in the Negev desert
Makhtesh Ramon (Hebrew: מכתש רמון; lit. Ramon Crater/Makhtesh ; Arabic: وادي الرمان) is a geological feature of Israel's Negev desert. Located at the peak of Mount Negev, some 85 km south of the city of Beersheba, the landform is not actually an impact crater from a meteor nor a volcanic crater formed by a volcanic eruption, but rather is the world's largest makhtesh. The crater is 40 km long, 2–10 km wide and 500 meters deep, and is shaped like an elongated heart. The only settlement in the area is the small town of Mitzpe Ramon (מצפה רמון, "Ramon Observation Point") located on the northern edge of the crater. Today the crater and surrounding area forms Israel's largest national park, the Ramon Nature Reserve.

You allow me to view the world through your eyes via your camera Ricki and this is why I love all your photos. I have never been able to travel as I wanted and now I feel somehow that I can. They are all so incredibly chosen and executed. Perfection each time.

The fragmented stones give me the sensation of an apocalypse ... The slight curve feeds the curiosity to know what is in the other side. Great shot.
