Amazing what a little rain will do – actually I hear there was a lot while I was away.
An early morning visit; it is a few years since I was last here and I was wondering how an archaeological site had survived the coming of electricity poles.
More on that subject later.

It looks really beautiful here. And the water pools add something to an otherwise barren landscape.
Yes it is – especially at this time of year.

Just beautiful – I wonder how long it will take the water to dry up again.
Thanks Vicki,
It was a good morning for light, although got rather harsh by late morning, so I made the best of it.
Oman weather has a cyclic nature (around a 10 year period) winters getting progressive colder and longer. It then all changes and goes the other way; we are about two thirds into a cool period. All controlled by the Monsoon which sweeps over the Indian Ocean; gives Dhofar its lush climate.
So in answering your question: it all depends on the weather 🙂 but probably late March early April and down hill until October.
The odd very bad storms in June/July over the mountain regions can top-up the water supply, but most evaporates quite quickly.
Muscat has a micro climate all of its own (summer is always bad) Khasab is another, locked in by mountains which re-radiate the heat during the night, temperatures can get upto 50c at times.
Sorry for the long answer…..
David.
Your photos always bring out such harmony and beauty, my dear friend. 🙂
Thank you Marina,
A compliment indeed – I am so pleased you like them.
David.
