Description: In Mitzpe Ramon, the curving road meanders beneath a sky awash with shades of pink and purple, reminiscent of a painting. The ethereal twilight bathes the landscape in its gentle embrace.

Cars glide along, resembling neon advertisement signs, their lights creating brilliant streaks that playfully dance against the dusky backdrop. These luminous trails create a striking contrast against the deep brown landscape, which, while not rich in detail, provides a muted backdrop that accentuates the vibrancy of the lights.

This scene, where the soft hues of nature merge with the human touch, marks my first successful use of the time blending technique.

Story behind: I was returning from a week of landscape photography masterclasses, very inspired. I learned many things and wanted to start using them. I learned many things and wanted to start using them, but I was a bit tired. So, I stopped at Mitzpe Ramon for a coffee on my long way home. That's when the idea was born. I've known this road for a long time, so I wanted to try shooting it with the knowledge I'd acquired. I decided to give it a shot. I believe it was a very successful shot. From this one began my journey into "time blending".
