Israel in Pictures: Part 3, Caesarea and the North

Caesarea is a city that has party fallen into the sea.

Where fish swim around the bases of ruined columns.

And the remains of the Crusader city sit next to, and on top of, the ruins of the Byzantines and the Romans.

An interesting contrast – the same colours as the Dome of the Rock.

The Sea of Galilee is smaller than I expected it to be.

The Golan Heights are an eerily empty place, where vineyards nestle beside grasslands studded with burned-out tanks.

Just about he closest approach to Syria. If you look closely to the right of the tree, you can see an enormous Syrian flag flying in Qunaitra.

In Akko, plants grow from shoes spray painted yellow.

They also grow from stringed instruments.

Akko remains a working harbour, with boats ranging from big to small. Or very small.
