, near Kibbutz Beit Alpha in northern Israel, 22 August 2018, on a hot day when Muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha, the holiest of the two Muslim holidays celebrated each year, marking the pilgrimage (Hajj) to visit Mecca, the holiest place in Islam.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nA very hot spell in August...nothing really new. But how to make a nice, new photo from the day, I wondered. Asked my wife and she suggested a trip up north to Sakhne - what a grand idea. Wonderful crowded park with all sorts of swimmers and people enjoying a break and a holiday. Shot on gfx50S, with a slow shutter speed, balanced on my legs. Worked. This image would look great really large...anyone want to buy a print?',700,700);)
 and Geula Rabi with some of their children as they walk along the Israeli separation fence, or wall, in Kibbutz Kerem Shalom, on the southern most part of Israel where it joins the Gaza Strip and Egypt, on 03 August 2018. The Rabis had moved into this nearly deserted agricultural community, the closest community to the Gaza Strip (on other side of the wall) a few days before, along with some 12 other families. The art work on the separation wall is a copy of the Pink floyd album cover The Wall, which was released in 1979 and is one of the best selling albums of all time. Guela Rabi lived in the Gush Katif settlement area in the Gaza Strip and was evacuated during the \'disengagement\' of the Israeli settlements and soldiers in the Gush Katif area of the Gaza Strip in 2005.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nPut some music to this photo - loud.

, a bullfighter from Peru, shakes hands and congratulates Spanish bullfighter Juan Jose Padilla (R) as they are both carried on shoulders from the bullring after successes in a bullfight during the Festival of San Fermin 2018 in Pamplona, Spain, 13 July 2018. Padilla is one of the recent best loved matadores who fights in Pamplona - this was his final fight as he is retiring after several serious injuries including a goring to his face which left him fights for the past several years with only one eye and a patch, so he is affectionately known as the Pirate. Olé Padilla...Maravilla.',700,700);)

 as they round a corner in a night run 10 July 2018 from their corrals to a corral in the city of Pamplona where they will spend the night quiet until they are released into the city streets in the morning\'s \'encierro\', or running-with-the-nulls in the Fiesta de San Fermín in Pamplona, northern Spain, 10 July 2018. The 204-hour long festival in Pamplona, northern Spain, made internationally famous by American novelist Ernest Hemingway in his 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises features a bull-run in the morning a d a bullfight in the afternoon, amid almost non-stop partying, during the eight days of the festival.<br />\r\nThe good part of shooting this picture was that it was from the balcony of a wonderful new restaurant above the elevator taking people down to the lower reqaches of the city where the bulls run in the evening, lone nd quite. After shooting the photos some friends and I had a great meal and wines, as I transmitted a few photos. It should take place when a little darker, but glad we got there early enough and it was still fading last daylight. The restaurant is called El Buho and well worth it.',700,700);){kind=spacer}

 faints from loss of blood after he was gored in the leg while killing his second bull of the afternoon in the bullring during the Festival of San Fermin 2018 in Pamplona, Spain, 07 July 2018.

 on 02 May 2018 along with a fragment that has been discovered to contain letters. The Israel Antiquities Authority showed fragments within conference entitled \'The Dead Sea Scrolls at Seventy\' that contain new information on one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. The scrolls were discovered in the 1950s in caves above the Dead Sea but only now through modern technology including the use of a multispectral imaging camera developed by NASA have some fragments revealed letters on them, which were discovered in \'Cave 11\' and come from the Books of Deuteronomy, Leviticus and Jubilees. The thousands of scrolls fragments are being digitalised and made available to scholars.',700,700);)
