This is located at the junction of 2 valleys that connects the valley of Yizrael going west and the Jordan Rift valley going north to south.
The city is surrounded with a high ridge of mountains from all directions.
Overlooking the city in the east are the Heights of Gilad and southwest are the Gilboa Mountains.
In the north-west are the hills of the Lower Galilee.
The city is on a highway that connects Syria and the Heights of Gilad to the coast of Israel. The Tel (hill) of the ancient Bet She'an impressively blocks the entrance to the valley and controls the highway.
Water from Mount Gilboa and the Jordan River to the city, made this city has grown into an important commerce city, settled for over 4,000 years through today.
The biblical story that involves this city is from the time of King Shaul (Samuel 1:11, 41), a few decades before the first temmple is to be built.
The battle between Shaul and Phiistines just ended on Mount Gilboa. israel has been defeated. Smoke is coming from the burnt villages and cities, which have been conquered by the Philistines.

This image had over 135 faves as on 6th October 2013. Then in a second the fave counter went back to ZERO - along with about 1700 images on my photo stream - just like that - no warning and no recourse :o(
Simultaneously it disappeared from the three galleries in which other Flickr members had kindly displayed it. Surely Flickr can have software which will warn you if you are doing something that will result in such catastrophe. I was just changing the privacy settings of some images when this happened. How come if we, so much as, want to delete a set, a warning pops up (although that action does nothing irretrievably disastrous as this did) but no warning for a click that removes all the faves from all your images, removes them from Explore (about 70 of mine got removed from Explore with this one silly action), removes them from any challenges/contests you may be participating in, and God alone knows what else !!

Sunrise lifts the fog of darkness
Cicadas cry their lonesome songs
A pure plead for an answer
Something, anything
They get their answer
I get the silence of my thoughts.

La profundidad de tu amor hacia una persona, es directamente proporcional a la cantidad de libertad que eres capaz de concederle en la vida,
¨ Ódiame si quieres pero desde la libertad..."
