" Under the Stars - Edge of the Empty Quarter - Oman "

My first of 3 solo expeditions travelling throughout Oman.
The stars look like rain drops because of the long exposure.

I am also. a member of the British Omani Society in London.
My article and photography are published in their 2015 Review.
You can access it here :- www.britishomani.org/annual-review
Select the ‘2015 Review’, pan down, the article is on pages 12/15.
It’s very easy and safe, even I can do it!
Modern technology, despite my constant complaining, has its uses!
