Kibbutz Dan photos

The rumors of war were intensifying when American friend John and I moved from Kibbutz Shoval in the Negev down south (not far from Gaza) to Kibbutz Dan in the far north, near the beautiful snow-covered Mount Hermon.

We had lived in the north earlier, on top of a mountain at Kibbutz Adamit on the border of Lebanon. At Kibbutz Dan we were next to Lebanon and Syria. We used to watch the military set off flares (see the picture with steps and the mountains in the background), on guard for terrorist incursions, and thought it would be beautiful, almost like fireworks in the United States, if it weren't so serious. Deja vue... seems like I wrote that somewhere, but who knows where, so I repeat it here.
