Just as a matter of interest: it’s lashing it down with rain here in Bausher !!! welcome after the heat of the last couple of weeks, but unexpected.

Dead Tree – Jebel Shams.

I have made an image of this tree before – several years ago.

It is still standing majestically & avoiding all that time can throw at it.

Old Tree – Jebel Shams.

I have visited Jebel Shams (work !!) stopped at about 8500ft and took advantage of the cool clear weather.

Talking of weather – I left Muscat with the temperature around 40c. and found the very top of Shams at a comfortable 24c. That last 3000ft makes all the difference – also enjoyed a pleasant interlude of coffee & dates with the guards 🙂

Jebel Akhdar: sun going down (what little there was) & possible rain.

Ps. It did rain about 02:00 so out of tent, put away cooking stuff and close my bivi top flap.

Wadi Forest.

Forest is a bit of a fib 🙂 but a lot of trees for the average wadi so not far off the truth….
