Blue gets monotonous

.
This is the countryside of our Jerusalem Hills, also known as the Hills of Judea.
Ancient agricultural terrace walls all around.
Summer means blue cloudless skies and lots of heat.
Summer knows no green on the ground, only dry brown.
The rains end around March and begin again only in late September or October.
.
SkyWatch Friday posts are pretty boring here at Jerusalem Hills daily photo during the long hot summer.
Be patient.

  2. My mother is doing laundry today. She would appreciate a whole day of those blue skies. Hmmm... I just looked out the window. Our skies look rather like yours... right now.

  6. Well, this photo is not boring in the least....and the blue and tan brown color combination is always a pleasing one, in my humble opinion anyhow!

  17. There's that lovely lavender bloom, whatever it is.

    I hope you get some reprieve from the heat soon. 40C+ is not funny.
