Beyond the edges of stone mountains, steamy sand meets the wave of freshwater and out of nowhere a group of cabins appears. In 1976, the legendary holiday village in Taba was run by Rafi Nelson. To Israeli society, Nelson personified everything that the american sixties brought to the world: sex, drugs and the bohemian way of life. The small amount of photos taken by Rudi there suggests that they were taken during a private vacation.
