Israel, nr Masada, St George's Monastery: Treking in Israel for an out-of-the-way location is hard, hot, thirsty work. And the creators of this monastery certainly followed the rules for seclusion and silence. Once the directions for the location had been found a hefty walk down this Gorge finally rewards with this vista. Getting access to the monastery is another story altogether, as is it's own private access, which I decided to leave to another time - settling for the atmosphere, location and view instead.
