Hi ! Thanks for presenting these very nice and marvelous scenic beauties with the World Community, all of your works are very attractive, I like your creations. Wishing you a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year - 2012. My best wishes for you. Greetings from Sharif

Leon, these are wonderful images... I can't believe I missed them. I'm glad that you recycled them to the front! I hope you're well, and it's always nice to hear from you. I don't spend too much time on Webshots, as other things keep me very busy. As it is, I have tons of photos to edit, etc. I'm could have another 10 albums posted, but, alas,haven't found the time! Best wishes, the Queen (just kidding!)... Regina

Leon: There you were on the home page of webshots under friends. Took me back to an album that I have visited many times. I am enjoying some Australia-like weather in Florida waiting for Canada to thaw out before beginning my long journey home. Al

It is always so nice to come and visit again this album from my beloved country. In this days when the arab countrys around are on flame, we are here some candel in the light.....Thank you dear Leon for your comments at my first N Z album. I have a new one from Milford sound/fiord in the south island, and more to come from Sydney and the blue mountains. Hope all is well with you and I do wish we meet one day. Your friend in Israel - RAN

Leon, Over the course of time you unfold another layer of yourself through your wonderful photojournalism. Well done..Jules
said jules572
Glad this album appeared in Friends boxes, you tell life as it was in no uncertain terms with your camera Leon. Well done, I just hope all these children are happy young men and women today, safe where ever they are. Hugs, Shirley
said sjhpumpkin
Dearest Leo, it is such a great album, a real chapter in history...Even if some of the WS friends haven't been to this magical place, I am sure that it has some meaning to every person with every belief...It is such a great shame that such a beautiful area (the whole of the Middle East) house people that don't get on and fight constantely....Let's hope that peace will arrive one day and we can all enjoy this beauty. Thank you so much for sharing this album and for stirring emotions and memories....Hugs vivien

Hi Leo.This is a magnificient album congratulation.Thank for sharing.Giampi/Italy

Oh my goodness Leon! Thank you ever so much!!! Your pics capturing a moment in time has ignited emotions deep in my soul. I was in Dahab in 1981-82 and you took me right back there. My camera was lost shortly after I left the desert in 1982 and I have not seen a picture of place since. I have longed to see a picture of Dahab when it was an oasis before becoming the city that it is today. I stayed in Dahab for 2 months. The hut I rented from the Bedouins was situated very close to The Crazy Camel Cafe (for those reading this, The Crazy Camel Cafe of 1982 that was owned by the French Family was not the same place as today's modern Crazy Camel Campground). I got to know the "Hippy Child" and "Hippy Children" in your photo. I distinctly remember the little boy's face but have since forgotten his name. I could not believe my eyes. For me, seeing the children again is better than any picture I could ever see of Dahab. I have told my friends stories of Dahab and the French Children. I could have never anticipated seeing a picture of them, let alone such a captivating image. If my memory is correct, I believe that since your pictures were taken, there has been an addition to the family with the arrival of a baby sister. She must have been about 2 years old at the time of my visit. Feel free to contact me if you would like to share some fond memories of the place and time or if you might have any additional photos. I would be ever so grateful and would love to see a photo of The Crazy Camel Cafe during its hay day if anyone might have such a shot. Leon, your photos touched my heart and I thank you so much for that. Wishing you the very best of everything. Esther.
said EstherToronto
let me congratulate you for being in Israel/(Palestine) and getting the wonderful opportunity of visiting Jerusalem (Al Quds) the city of all religions and cradle of history. wonderful Album.
said talalebrahim
Leon, it was such a pleasure going back in time in history. For me these pictures are a reminder of the news then when I was ploughing the seas. Like I mentioned, I have been round the world but never set foot in Israel. Your photos have taken me back in time and allowed me to visit part of Israel with you at that time. Regards from Paul in Ontario, Canada.

Really love your album...I'm moved. Thanks for the great journey. Regards, Roxanne.

Looks like you had an amazing trip to Israel. Their lives are so different from ours in so many ways. Very thought provoking album and well done. Warm wishes. paula
said plegolas
Thank you for this album also. Wonderful infroming pictures and even colored. A lot historic moments on everybody face. I think I got a new idea, how to do my next album....Thanks to you.
said meeli110
This album is fascinating. I kept looking at the peopl and wondering where they are now and how life has changed for them. Thank you.
said khazlam
Amazing to see what jewels are there to be discovered on Webshots. Leon - I have to say I just loved this album. Every picture tells a story! It's always great to find pictures that bring the past back alive; so I'm really grateful for everybody who goes through the effort of scanning in their old shots - and sharing them with the rest of us.
said bubbamcjump
A very rich and intriguing album - each picture tells a unique story and give us an eternal look into this blink of the past.
said ManusHristov
In 1973, having just graduated from high school, two of my older brothers away, serving and surviving in Viet Nam, I was young, vivacious, curious about the world...at that time in my life other countries and cultures were fascination and intrigue, and I studied world history and language with a great passion I still hold...just testing my wings, exploring the mainland, and seeing life through the innocent eyes of a nine year old...I still do...and here with this collection I see at that moment of time and space, you exploring a culture with an apparent deep understanding, respect and affinity for the diversified landscape and peoples, submerging enough for a lasting impact and imprint in your life and the lives you touched for the difference you make, I am convinced they remember you as well. It is profoundly meaningful and moving to view the images here with this quality collection, and experience this great land and culture through your eyes and lens, Leon, a poet and a photographer is a good combination. It is real. Good onya ~ Sharon

Hi Leon, this is an album to contemplate. You transport me to what was a less complex time, only now I know how the story will unfold. Your studies of people are excellent. This is a great slice of history, and a beautiful document; well done, and thanks for giving us a chance to look back and contemplate. Cheers, Keith.
said magikeith
Just realized something as I viewed this Leon...I always had friends of varying ages...and 3 of my closest friends, stayed in a Kibbutz as volunteers, twice in Israel! Years would have been...'79' to..'81' Funny...I had dream about one of the girls last night or probably wouldn't have remembered at all! Six degrees of seperation....wow. small world really.
said quirkyartist
Leon...this album...like aging wine just seems to improve with time...such a slice of history! There's something to be said for the old ways of photography.It adds something rich, that is lost now with our slick perfect digital age. I really enjoyed this so much...as many others will to come. ~April
said quirkyartist
Dear Leon. After my comment at this albom few months ago, here I"m again waching this wonderful taken piece of history I don"t have to wach only, but I was part of it. And again. Wondeful albom from most beautiful times to remember that to my sorrow I don"t have many photos of my .

said orlyyahalom
Dear friend Leon. I wached your photocards albom and L O V E D tham very much. Now I found this wonderful photo work of yours, and it brought me back to those days when I served the army as a reserve during the Yom-Kipur war In the African part of Egypt, and after 6 months when the African part was lefted, I was for few weeks in Sinai. I spent my time in Sharam-A-shech, traveling to Santa-Catarina and many more places. Thanks for bringing me back to those memorys. RAN

Hi Leon, Now you are bringing back my memories! I was also mid seventies working as a volunteer in a kibbutz in Israel. Wow its just that time and your photos are telling me perfectly the story how it was. It was such a great time, thanks this is wonderful for me and it’s a pleasure to view all your photos from Israel. Take care, Joke

Hi Leon, Thanks for your visit. Sorry, I didn't receive an email for your message so it took me a while to notice it. I don't know Amit Ron. I'm glad you liked my photos of Haifa. I only live here for 3 years but feel as if all my life has been here. Love this city. If you return for a visit, let me know and I'd invite you for an ice-cream. Best, Orly

Hi Leon! I came across your album, and what a treasure it is! You have went into Israel so deeply, as dear Bella has expressed so well. Your collection is a fascinating time capsule. Thank you so much for sharing. Best wishes from Israel, Orly
