The power of life (pls read tech. details)

The Dead-Sea. The lowest place on earth (400 meters below sea level), a salt lake. The whether is extremely hot and extremely dry - no rain, sometimes, for years. under these impossible conditions and from the salt stones life grows up. This plant and very few other species are straggling against nature each day.....all this, maybe, just to be able to view it's wonderful sunrises every day.... This is an amazing place - on the thin line between heaven and hell!
