Funeral for the Dead Sea

Activists of Friends of the Earth Middle East hold a mock funeral procession for the Dead Sea in front of the Knesset, Israel's Parliament in Jerusalem, on November 21, 2011. Less than a week after the Dead Sea failed to make the list of winners in the New 7 Wonders of the World competition, the Israel Ministerial Committee rejected a proposed bill that would provide for its rehabilitation and protection.

About this blog

Photo Op: short for photo opportunity, originally referred to an opportunity to take a memorable and effective photograph of a politician, a celebrity, or a notable event. The term has acquired a negative connotation, referring to a carefully planned pseudo-event, or a non-event that often masquerades as news. This blog is called "Photo Op" and I hope this is where the resemblance to the above definition ends.
