			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m not too sure why, maybe from literature or some old movies- but the classical image of a desert oasis has always been this beautiful pond surrounded by huge palm trees amongst some vast sand dunes. Sounds like a great place for photographs right?</p>

<a href="http://www.thewidelens.com/wp-content/gallery/ein-ovdat-oasis/p8151267.jpg" title="Give nature a few thousands of years- and get art." class="thickbox" rel="singlepic249" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.thewidelens.com/index.php?callback=image&amp;pid=249&amp;width=320&amp;height=240&amp;mode=" alt="Natural Art" title="Natural Art" />
</a>

<p>While hiking <a title="Ein Ovdat Official information" href="http://www.parks.org.il/BuildaGate5/general2/data_card.php?Cat=~25~~880733173~Card12~&amp;ru=&amp;SiteName=parks&amp;Clt=&amp;Bur=648243940" target="_blank">Ein Ovdat</a>- an actual oasis in the Negev desert, I had the opportunity to photograph one of the rare locations where water meets desert on a regular basis. This oasis though has no palm trees, and no vast sand dunes. The structure of the area is actually a deep and rocky canyon, allowing for some very interesting composition including the rock surface, water, sky and some local flora and fauna.</p>

<a href="http://www.thewidelens.com/wp-content/gallery/ein-ovdat-oasis/ein-ovdat.jpg" title="A view of the canyon carved by water." class="thickbox" rel="singlepic247" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.thewidelens.com/index.php?callback=image&amp;pid=247&amp;width=320&amp;height=240&amp;mode=" alt="Ein Ovdat Oasis" title="Ein Ovdat Oasis" />
</a>

<p>This location is actually very accessible and a highly recommended visit if you’re in the area. A short fifteen minute walk from the car park. All the charm of a real desert oasis, this time- without the adventure. Well, unless the car’s air conditioning is out of order…</p>
