    • 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

    • 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.

    • 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

    • album of EstherToronto

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • album of bubbamcjump

    • 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.

    • album of ourjrny

    • 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.

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.
