Unproductive clear skies

.
Another sunset in the Jerusalem Hills for SkyWatch Friday.
.
November and Israel still has clear skies and abnormal warm temperatures in the mid or high 20s C.
No rain since last spring.
.
Groups, interfaith groups, rabbis, and individuals have been going to mountain tops, onto the Sea of Galilee, or next to graves of long-dead tsadikim to pray (and even fast) for rain.
So far, beseeching God to open the heavens has not brought the much-needed showers.
.
Shabbat shalom

  4. We got our first wintery mix last night: snow, sleet, freezing rain. I guess summer is GONE.

  7. Gorgeous colors, Dina. We've been getting rain, but it's more a drizzle that just produces rainbows but doesn't raise the water table.

  8. Beautiful sunset, Dina!

    I think our climates have become too erratic these days. A result of global warming?

    Here it's been unusually wet all year round. We haven't really had a dry season this year (normally we'd have approximately 6 months of dry season and 6 months of rainy season).
