Description

Avi, not the Marlboro man, our trekking guide in the Negev, Israel, near the Nabatean Machmal Post.
In the background you can see Makhtesh Ramon.
I highly recommend Avi for the curious travelers interested in the history, religion, geology, wild life and vegetation in the most frequented or hidden places in Israel.

Exif: F Number: 13, ExposureTime: 499/100000 seconds, ISO: 400, FocalLength: 98.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700
