The following is a montage of mountains (as the title suggests). I took these pictures in Israel last year.

 I know I was supposed to find a thing I consider beautiful, but I feel one cannot fully appreciate the majesty of the mountain without seeing it in context. Since the captured digital image is hardly the proper context, I figure showing the pictures as a unit better conveys a sense of the largess of the natural world and the breathtaking beauty of a mountain. My personal favorite is the Sinai mountains. It is dusty and quiet- so quiet. Being there gave new meaning to Simon and Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence. Sitting on a the mountaintops of the Sinai desert, I discovered that silence really does have a sound.
