The photo was taken at Bet Shean in the archaeological park and shows the destruction of the city by the earthquake of 749CE. The technical details – the photo was taken with a Nikon digital point and shoot camera on January 2 (ISO 100, 8mm, F7.6 at 1/135 sec).
This photo is one of a dozen photographs of archaeological and nature sites in Israel that appears in my Holy Land 1 Wall Calendar, available for purchase at http://www.cafepress.com/israeldesigned.
