Mount Hermon and the Syrian border

After our visit to Kafar Bi’rem we drove north west to a viewpoint looking down on the Israeli-Syrian border. Here are some images of the borderlands, the most notable feature of course being Mount Hermon, the summit of which also intersects with southern Lebanon.

It was a brilliantly clear late afternoon. And cold.
