The journal of the Russian Language Israeli Geographical Society Isrageo has published its list of 2012’s winners of its photographic competition online, together with a gallery page with a selection of the jury’s favourites.

 

32 snaps made the fourth and final stage of the competition, attracting images of all sides of life in the Jewish State, from Bedouin pigeon-fanciers in the Negev desert, to street traders in old Jerusalem, to a horde of camels crossing a road near Beer Sheba, to one of Israel’s most repeated motifs, old Orthodox Jewish men, sometimes driving a donkey, sometimes looking wise and ancient, and in the case of the winning picture, shot by Jerusalem Photo Club member Mark Neyman, looking approvingly on at the burning of Chametz.
