Galilee in the Spring

Galilee in the Spring
These hills are part of the Zalmon Valley, in Galilee, northern Israel, photographed in the spring. In this fertile area grapes, olives, and grain are grown. The region was the center of Jesus Christ’s ministry during his lifetime and has been part of the Jewish state since the partition of Palestine in 1947.
