LATITUDE: 30°27'41"N / LONGITUDE: 34°58'40"E, November 14, 2011. Bedouin encampment beside a seasonal stream in the Aravah desert mountains leading to the Ramon Crater. In this arid zone, Bedouin herders search for areas near seasonal waterways in order to tap into the yearly rainfall, which allows for the growth of vegetation for their herds to graze.

The larger particles of sand and gravel here are comprised largely of flint., from the series Desert Bloom
