description: As Always in Israel, surprises and anomalies are everywhere. Fields appear suddenly in the middle of the desert, the shores of the Dead Sea support life, a Bahai temple dominates a major city in the Jewish State, a kibbutz and a castle stand side by side.And through the lens of the airborne camera, the people of Israel- both past and very much present- come to life as well. The Roman builders of Herod's city of Caesaria, the ascetic monks of Judean desert, the Zionist pioneers who drained marshes to make way for fields, all gaze up at us through what they have left behind on the face of the land. Today's generation of Israelis gaze up at us from their bustling cities and thriving villages with a strong attachment to the land under their feet and the hope of a peaceful future in their hearts.So strap on your seatbelts and fly with us through faith and history, through struggle and conquest, through exile and return, through the promised land, through the breathtaking landscapes and views of Israel From the Air.
