I have very much enjoyed your series of pictures of Oman. I was the CENTCOM desk officer for Oman for a couple years back in the day and went to Oman a number of times during that tour. It's the best of the Middle East as far as I'm concerned. Your pictures are beautiful.
Thank you very much ntonkin for looking in on our tour and enjoying the pictures and for your kind comment!

Thanks for sharing your pictures of this region, an area of the world I will never see first hand. They are excellent, given the conditions you describe. What makes the rocks blue?
Thank you very much Jeff for looking in on our ongoing tour and your kind comments. I am very happy to hear that you enjoy these images. Sorry, I have no answer as to the color coloration, but assume it must have something to do with the mineral composition - maybe some viewer here has a good answer.

Thank you for looking in on our tour again, Philo. Well, the answer to the goat could be: It's all going downhill from here ....

incredible, wonderful mountain pictures!
Thank you very much Michael for looking in on our ongoing tour of this amazing country. We are nearing the end of the Oman section, but I will add yet sets from Abu Dhabi and Dubai over the coming weeks.
In case you just stumbled upon this set and would like to see more of this wonderful place, I invite you to look back on my earlier postings. In case you are unsure how to access these efficiently: Click on my name (weberwest) beside my avatar which will bring you to my profile. Click on the figure behind number of topics posted and the entire string of posts will open up. It would be best to go to the beginning with post 1 of the Arabian Peninsula series, as I provide an introduction there as well as a couple of maps. No offense if you don't feel like digging into this series. Joe

These are fantastic shots Joe. Reminds me very much of our trip to Patagonia and the 4WD trip up to the glacier overlook. https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-597991-1.html. What settings did you use?
