Location

Masada, Israel

Time

Sunrise

Lighting

Get to the top early and watch the sky turn from purple and pink to a gold like you see in the movies.

Equipment

Can't remember. I had a point and shoot Lumix at this time I believe.

Inspiration

Everything in the area took on a gold hue, and I thought the tree represented an extended olive branch over the Dead Sea.

Editing

None
