Sunrise over the Dead Sea
This shot was taken from the snake path at Massada, Israel at 5 AM. Massada is a rock where a group of Jews, called the Zealots, resisted to the Romans during about 2 years (70-73 CE) and finally comitted a mass suicide instead of beeing slaves under their enemies. Today Massada has become a symbol for men who cherish freedom.
Climbing Massada by foot (although there is a cable car) to see the sunrise over the Moab mountains is a “classic” journey for those who want to see a beautiful and incredible lanscape. It’s also very emotional . Believe me, it’s something you don’t forget.

Looks like you did it at dawn as well if my geography is correct. When I climbed up I thought I heard echoes in the cliffs of the besieged Jews singing religious songs to keep their spirits up. Very peaceful shot.
Hmmm…, my english isn’t perfect (french is my mother language), but I though the sunrise was taking place at dawn. If I’m, wrong, please correct.
