Triple fortifications

There are a lot of fortifications in the mountains of Oman. I don’t know when they date to, but obviously a long time ago. I thought these three on one mountain in old Muscat were quite interesting.

I have uploaded a number of pictures to this gallery today because I have one more day off of my Ramadan holiday (from my Turkish newspaper), and also because I have so many pictures, I really wanted to get this gallery going, with the historic part of Muscat.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/160s f/11.0 at 62.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

The structures look like they just rose up out of the mountain! Very interesting.

What an interesting image. I wonder, if all three forts are connect by underground tunnels? A neat look back in time. Great job. V.
