Flax Processing Pools

View looking south-southeast at the flax processing pools (in the center and right of center of the image) and the spring head on the left side of the image.

This is the first flax processing installation found in Israel. Flax was actually grown down near the Sea of Galilee, 5 mi. [8.5 km.] to the west.
