The lights of a tourist boat reflected on the calm waters of the Sea of Galilee.This is a party boat about to dock at the Lido. From the shore I could hear the loud music and the stomping of dancing feet.
Later I will show you the more reverent kind of Galilee boats--the ones for Christian pilgrims.

Very interesting post!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend reflections!
Léia :) Bonjour Luxembourg
This is beautiful...when I enlarged it , the reflections were so colorful....light shining in the darkness...I would like to see the Galilee boats...
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteI guess benches have to sleep somewhere :-) , and amid something as old and venerable as basalt, it must make then feel venerable too.
wonderful photo, looks quite spooky...
ReplyDeleteI love how the string of lights leaves such punctuated reflections.
ReplyDeleteNight photography has a magic to it and you've captured some of that magic here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thank you for taking us there.

This is such a pretty reflection shot, Dina. It looks peaceful since we don't have the sounds that go with it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a unique photo! And the title"Light on the water"is almost symbolic for this Sea of Galilée, which we know from the bible.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and kind comment! Shabbat shalom!
Oh wow, this pretty neat...you live on a beautiful place and great reflection shot too.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice idea to have a party on a boat but we don't hear anything about Israel here except bad news so the idea of spending time out at night is frightening. I wish we could get some good news from Israel instead of the bad stuff.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever mentioned that I spent some time in the Army in Japan and while there began my picture taking career. I have been working on putting some of them on the following blog. If you are interested you are welcome to take a look.

The reflection is like a stream of wrinkling ribbons, Dina. Very fragile yet immensely beautiful especially in the inky blackness of the water. I love the space you have given the reflection to work its wonders.
ReplyDeleteIt's soo dark out there. The reflection looks like color lights and lines on the water.
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
Nice.
ReplyDeleteAloha & Shabbat Shalom, Friend!

Hello Dina, this is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHello Dina! What a fascinating atmosphere in this picture!
ReplyDeleteMy friends went to Isaerl, and my old church in Singapore organises a trip every years.
ReplyDeleteThe sea of Galilee must be a great attraction. Are there still fish like Jesus's time?
Shalom and thanks to you all for your poetic comments!
ReplyDeleteAnn, shalom. Hope you too get to visit my country someday. Yes, fishermen in boats still cast nets into the Sea of Galilee much like in the time of Jesus. The best-tasting catch is St. Peter's fish (tilapia).
Abe, yes, there is plenty of good and beautiful stuff and folks in Israel, never shown on your news. I'll try to fill the void.
Your new blog on Japan is fascinating.
Lovely reflection. I didn't realize those party boats were even still running. I don't think I've ever seen one afloat like that.
ReplyDeleteLove the rippled reflection in the water.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we only get to see your photo and not hear the noise. It looks so peaceful- I'd love to see the tour boats, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's like witnessing how peacefulness really feels like (without the sounds...)
ReplyDeleteA pretty reflection.
ReplyDeletedreameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeethis boat of time and your elegant photograph.
ReplyDeleteLovely reflection, the colors are wonderful. Kathy
ReplyDeleteI think that I would like to "party" on the Sea of Galillee, albeit differently. I look forward to your post on showing the reverent pilgrim boats
