The photo was taken at the Dead Sea, Israel. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth.
The Druze community in Israel is officially recognized as a separate religious entity with its own courts (with jurisdiction in matters of personal status - marriage, divorce, maintenance and adoption) and spiritual leadership. Their culture is Arab and their language Arabic but they opted against mainstream Arab nationalism in 1948 and have since served (first as volunteers, later within the draft system) in the Israel Defense Forces and the Border Police.
The Druze community in Israel has a special standing among the country's minority groups, and members of the community have attained high-level positions in the political, public and military spheres.
The Druze woman is known by her snowy white veil, worn directly on top of her head. |

What an interesting photo Lili, and your notes are very informative too. I like the colour of the sky against the green of the water. But the horizon isn't straight. TFS.
Nice, strong colours, sometimes matching, sometimes contrasting. The picture could have been more complete if the leg of the chair in front were shown fully, but that's just a minor point. The composition is good. Interesting note. TFS
What a confort it's look like! The sea is wonderfull. You're resume was good on the note
