Landscape near En Namer spring in Tseelim Canyon, 3.5 miles north-west from Masada. The Middle East, September 29, 2001
A playful piece of garden art utilizing an antique wrought-iron bed frame, creating a literal "flower bed". The dark, heavily rusted metal frame features a classic design with curved corners and vertical iron spindles on both the headboard and footboard. Rather than holding a mattress, the space between the head and foot of the bed is completely filled with densely growing, low-profile green vegetation, pruned flat to mimic the shape and height of a mattress. This living "mattress" blends seamlessly into the surrounding garden landscape, with various other plants, shrubs, and spring-blooming bulbs growing freely around the base of the rusty metal legs and intertwined through the iron bars.
