Me and a tree |
I swear to Allah: the first cloud I've seen in about three weeks. |
Suddenly, you're driving, and you're just in the mountains. These stark, rocky, treeless mountains. |
Self-timer magic |
More clouds@#!@#! |
These mountains were incredible. You can see a couple of small trees in this pic. I couldn't focus on them well enough |
On one side, the rocks are white, on the other, sort of dark brown. NOTE the camel crossing sign |
I'm sure pics of clouds are not all that interesting, but you have to understand: I hadn't seen one in weeks. |
Mosque. I think this is in Dibba now |
The big mosque in Dibba |
Now begins the Doors of Dibba. someday I'll put them in a gallery of their own, which they deserve. I'll shut up for them. |
