Dana´s Café, on the road to Petra, Jordan.
This week Ailsa´s Travel Theme is «Distance»…Sometimes, we need to stop, to breath, and to take a distant point of view…May be to see what we have around and we are not able to admire,….May be just to rest …Because being in the midst of everything can blind our eyes, our souls and our hearts…

That is just one of the most amazing photographs! Makes me want to get in a plane NOW!
Ha ha ha…We rent a car and drove to Petra, just from the israelí border, following the Dead Sea shore and going up into the mountains…It was a great adventure! We got lost twice at least!!!
What a fun story!

I’m very impressed by the photo – and the quotation:
