I love this photo! I agree with your previous commenter that it has a cinematic feel to it, as if the rocky outcrop in the center of the image is Lawrence of Arabia looking out over the desert. The black and white helps a lot in this picture.
Many thanks Michael.
It’s about 6500ft, just off a dirt track on the route that eventually reaches the top of Jebel Shams at 10,000ft.
A place near where I would sometimes camp, there is hidden water available all year, no matter what the weather. But if I was on my way to the top for work, it would be a stopping point.
At about 7000ft there is now a tourist holiday area (still a hard drive for the unprepared) but it is getting developed bit by bit 😔
I have been very lucky to have seen it while it was still a remote and unspoilt area.
Thank you very much, it is a country that I will always hold in very great regard.
Oh I love this soooooo much. What a great scene. Has a very cinematic feel to it. Like something from a John Ford movie. Jebel Shams has beens a very good subject for you. Beautifully done.
Thanks Terry, much appreciated.
Shams was a place of work and leasure that I enjoyed exploring for many years.
Some of it unknown by outsiders until very recently.
En route – Jebel Shams Oman: from my files.

A beautiful photo, with an uncanny sense of stillness about it. Your love and respect for the land shows.
Thank you, yes it was a favourite area for me.
Stunning landscapes 😍
Many thanks Virginia, pleased you liked it.
Brilliant landscape shot.
Thank you for the compliment.

Thanks Josh, as for B&W process: I had a ‘darkroom’ at 10, 000ft !! on top of Shams, as well as one in my house. So was able to do a lot of B&W.
Now you’re making me miss mountains!
Ha, I know that feeling.
I’ve commented on your photos of this area before: this could be the Mojave Desert. This is a beautifully composed shot.
Many thanks Michael.
