    Default Sent to the salt mines

    Well we have all heard the expression, indeed we have them not far from us in Cheshire, these are on the road between Beer Sheva and Mitzpeh Ramon in the Negev Desert in Israel. Yes it is a whole mountain of rock salt. We were travelling at speed here but I just managed to get the mine entrances on the bottom of the photos
