I'm always struck by the sight of birds in the middle of the desert and I enjoy looking "down" on them from the heights.
This pigeon is on the remains of the double wall that encircles Massada. The area between the two sections of the wall became apartments during the period of the Zealots. In the distance you can see the Dead Sea, to the right a bit of the "Tongue" that extends out from the Mountains of Moab in the haze beyond our sight.
