Israel in photos

Stunning pictures !

Can you post some pictures of Negev desert afforestation or plantation of dry shrubs to make it less desert-like ? I became curious after looking at some satellite vegetation maps of the region ... from Egypt border into Israel, the ground color becomes less yellow and a little brownish ... and it is clearly different. So, some large scale anti-desertification campaign must have been going on in the negev.
Thanks. Indeed there is a difference in satellite pics:

Here some Negev fields:

Northern Negev hills:


Poppy field near Gaza:






But overwhelming majority of Negev is deserted.
