An Unexpected View Along the Wadi Qelt

An Unexpected View Along the Wadi Qelt

We were about a half an hour’s drive from the city of Jerusalem when we noticed the exquisite geology of our surroundings.  Feeling as though we had arrived at the Badlands of the Dakotas, our motor coach pulled over along the desolate highway.  Without another car in sight, we exited the bus into the dust and followed our guide, archaeologist Mark Ziese.
