Everyone was so interested in yesterday's thatched roof down in En Gedi, so here is a picture with more detail.Click to enlarge.

Kibbutz En Gedi has a huge date palm plantation (and mango trees too), so there is no lack of material for the the big "umbrellas."

Funny how things we all take for granted can seem so completely exotic to one from another culture.
ReplyDeletePalm roofs are still quite common in the Philippines (not in Manila though), but this is probably the biggest one I've seen yet!
ReplyDelete«Louis» loves geometrical images like this! He only very very rarely posts anything like this because of his normal subject matter - so he finds extra enjoyment in an image like this when he finds it in the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteThis makes such an awesome effect.
ReplyDeleteIt's less dense than I'd realised but very beautiful. I'd thought it was unique when I first saw it and surprise myself by being disappointed there are many of them. I ought to be pleased!

I've seen the big umbrella on the previous post and I'm amazed by its size!
ReplyDeleteI was curious about this, glad that someone asked...
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and perspective on this beauty, Dina. Nice textures and light.
