Masada National Park

Masada National Park

                    
           Masada National Park is located in the South of Israel Overlooking the Dead Sea

                                       Looking to the top of Masada from the cable car.
                                               Sure glad I did not have to walk up there.

                                                         Looking down from the top

                   The Ruins at Masada. The colored part is original. The is Fresco, the pigment  

                   was put into the plaster when it was wet and not applied afterward . This method 

                   and the dry air of the region has allowed this to be as good new after centuries.

                          The black line indicates the rocks that were in place when the park 

                          was created. The ones above the line were just on the floor and they

                          were put back in place like a giant jigsaw puzzle.

                            Just  waiting for the last tram down the hill. Too far to walk in this heat
