Jebel Track.

Old bowl – reprint.

Nikon F4 with 50mm f1.8 D AF Nikkor lens.

The black at the top of the arch is from numerous oil lamps being placed on the shelf – think ‘Aladdin’s Lamp’ style.

A busy little Bee in the darkroom – as I have the box of paper out of the freezer 🙂

Jebel Harim – Grindstone.

There are several abandoned or semi-abandoned villages in the mountains around Khasab: a large town in the Musandam peninsula.

Many happy hours exploring the area and finding such things as this old grindstone.

A Basket of Omani Dates.

Nikon F4, 24mm f2.8 AFd with T-max 400 @ 320.

I have a terrible weakness for dates 🙂 (not the horrible dried shrivelled things I see in UK)

They are very nutritious and a general maxim here in Oman is that; if there is nothing else available, one can live on just dates and water for a very long time.

Jebel Village with early morning sun.

Nikon F4. 80-200 f2.8 AF ED Zoom lens. Kodak T-max 400 at 1600asa (not because I needed the speed; wanted chunky grain) also used an old UV filter with a very small amount of Vaseline on it.

Jebel Misht.

Jebel Misht (out of the mist).

Jebel Misht rises to over 2,000m, it is one of Oman’s ‘exotics’; an outcrop of rock that is unrelated to the rocks surrounding it and is probably the country’s finest rock climbing venue. First climbed by a French team led by Raymond Renaud in 1979, this was the first major rock route in Oman and still attracts many climbers trying to forge new routes.
