First Ben Guvrion. These are old quarries. There was a hard layer of non-desirable rock on the surface of the ground and lots of desirable rock below. To solve this problem they dug little holes in the surface and then mined out in a bell like shape. Hence the common name for this place is the Bell Caves. A lot of inner walls started to collapse and made a large inner cavern. It is now a State Park for all to enjoy. Enjoy.
This is the Valley of Elah. Somewhere in this area is where David slew Goliath. This is also where the Brooke of Elah ran from which David chose the stones that he was going to use. I wanted to do a picture there. Ironically there were sheep and shepard boys there. Even more ironic they taught me how to throw a rock with a sling. Right where David did it, how cool is that?
Once we got back to Jerusalem we drove up to the Seven Arches Overlook. Above the Jewish cemetary and watched the sun set.
There's our rental car and my shadow.
