In response to our recent sunset photos on the Sea of Galilee Mark Hoffman sent a beautiful photo of a sunrise from Ein Bokek, a resort site located on the southern end of the west shore of the Dead Sea. When I asked Professor Hoffman for permission to elevate his photo to a post, he graciously granted it. The photo was made in January, 2014.
Sunrise on the Dead Sea from Ein Bokek. Photo by Mark Vitalis Hoffman.
The Mountains of Moab are visible to the East in the modern country of Jordan, and reflected in the waters of the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea is known as the Salt Sea in Genesis 14:3.
Mark Hoffman writes a practical blog for teachers and preacher who use any sort of technology. It is called Biblical Studies and Technological Tools. The subtitle is “From scroll to screen… codex to computer….” There you will find lots of helpful material relating to Bible software programs.
Last year I recommended two of his posts to my tour group. Others might enjoy these picture taking tips.
