Mountainous Oman

This is one of the thousand or so watchtowers around Oman, taken from the car on a drive to Nizwa, a historic city that’s the gateway to some of the country’s most majestic mountains.

I love this composition with so much of the blue sky as cover over the slate gray mountains and then the deeper tones of gray and green foliage in the foreground. V

A strategic location no doubt. The mountains look very barren in contrast to the trees below. Sharp shooting from the road. V
