From rough, blunt and brusque to gentle, warm and loving by Ruth Penn
The photos in this portfolio depict Ruth Penn’s country, Israel, as she envisions it. Sometimes it is stormy, sometimes calm, sometimes it is scorching hot, sometimes it is rainy and cold. It changes moods instantly: from happiness to deep sadness; from hope to almost (but never) despair; from vibrant, vivid colors to browns and black and white; from rough, blunt and brusque to gentle, warm and loving; from yellow desert to blooming forests; from beaches to mountains; from bustling cities to almost serene towns, farms and kibbutzim.
