When I asked to stop and let me out to take this image, all I could think of while looking at the rock formation was… That rock formation in the background, it is completely curved. There was a time when it was flat.

I image a ever so long time lapse of how it changed over time. It is hard to image the forces in play there to create such an arc of solid rock.

I have always been attracted to mountains. After many years of first skiing the snow boarding, I realised that at least half of my attraction the both was the environment where they took place. I realised the more beautiful the mountain scape, the more I enjoyed the holiday.

Now I am aware of this, the feeling I had while just simply looking at this scene was the same. A simple quiet shaking of the head in amazement, so beautiful, so raw, so natural.

I know that while living here in Oman I will spend much time in these mountains, experimenting photographically with different times of the day, a beautiful playground, on my doorstep.
