Dragons
It had been quite some time since last time I dragged friends to the beach for a fire blowing party. Last night a few collegues and friends joined us at the student's beach for a few beers and some flame throwing. You can read an old post on this blog explaining all the details on how to do it. As I was pretty busy Michelle took all the pictures and was very successful at it: those are definitely the best fire blowing pictures I ever got from any session.

Romeo and Juliette
Are so close from each other for so long, but have never been able to touch each other. They are so sad that one always has a tear ready to fall, but still their love is eternal and they are forever together:

Some long due news
It's been a while... We've been quite busy all weekends of July learning scuba diving in the ancient Roman harbor of Caesarea. After about 7 days of diving we completed our PADI open water and advanced open water diver courses. We can now go dive down to 30m by ourselves and we intend to take advantage of it :). We unfortunately had mostly low visibility and agitated waters but we were still able to enjoy some of the remains of Herod's sunken harbor.
Last weekend we drove north to Yehiam fortress and enjoyed a quiet afternoon there overlooking Western Galilee. For once the sky was quite covered and it wasn't too hot. The fortress is located in a Kibbutz, and was used by the kibbutzim as a stronghold during the independence war, and some of their additional fortifications are still up. The rest of the castle was build by the ottomans on top of the ruins of a crusader castle.
On saturday we went for a hike in the Carmel national park, but as we got up late it was a bit too hot and we were too low on water to hike for long so we just climbed on top of a small hill and cliff, enjoyed the view and drove back to Haifa to finish the day playing with waves on the beach.
I also started to take advantage of a new macro lens to take closeup of flowers or lizards as you can see here:
