Hod Akev – Unreal Desert Hike
The sky was the crispest shade of cerulean, with cirrus clouds spattered around like white paint on a blue canvas. The mountain rock was stark and chalky in some places, like cut clay. In others, piles of sandy stones gathered to form sharp peaks.

Smooth white rock filled the bottom of the canyon, so soft that it reminded me of foam on top of the ocean.
