Yellow-vented BulbulAbundant around human habitation. Talented songster too; clear fluty thrush-like song. Uploaded on Dec 20, 2009 LifeA roadside memorial in the desert: chai, the Hebrew word for "life". Looks like the remains of some sort of structure at the right. And shows the geology and habitat, too. Note how dusty the air is. The mountains in the distance are in Jordan; they're really not that far away, but the visibility is terrible. Uploaded on Dec 18, 2009 Desert geologyTransition zone here between a dark stratum above and a lighter one below. ID help welcome!

Salt worksA large portion of the southern Dead Sea is devoted to the salt industry ( www.wysinfo.com/Dead_Sea/dead_sea_works.htm ). On the right there, there's a pile of some ordinary-looking white salt, I think with dust on top; don't know what the red stuff is -- maybe carnallite? That is produced here. ID help welcome!
