THE WEEK

One of my shots has been featured in The Week Oman and happens to be the header image here in my Blog.

Come! join me as I sway my eyes to Salalah.

Salalah is approximately 1000km from the Capital City of Oman Muscat. More or less 10hours drive and 60 minutes by air. But I wish to get there by Ferry...(that's quite interesting though)
I first encountered the word Salalah when I was working in Bahrain wayback 2008,when our office were doing a Development Tourism Project along the coast of Salalah. I came to know about the climate that emulates a tropical weather. I was not ecstatic about it since I can easily find those kind of stretched-scenery in my home country Philippines. It wasn't really a new to me but living in a Gulf Region is extremely strange and difficult to find a nice pocket of natural greens, caves and wadis(rivers). It is some kind of adventure in the eyes and soul~ indeed its everything ...I can't really remember how many times I uttered "WOW".

Note: I'm doing some editing of scripts later :-j enjoy!!!

Almost there

For almost 11 hours on the surrealistic 200km/hr road the sun has to set and 30 minutes before reaching the City of Salalah was a dramatic with a very delicate sundown in between hills.
Farmlands on the otherhand engulfed by an eloquent farm-fences-silhouettes on my right and sideroad bushes in my left that gives me thrill of how majestic my foot will be stepping on.

Welcoming with a mist and a luscious green hills

When approaching the city in an uphill road, I was really struck with the beauty of the hills wrapped with a thin layer of mist and as we go along it became thicker and thicker with more or less 10% visibility... and it came to my thought of Baguio City or Tagaytay City in the Philippines . But I embarrased myself and disappointed

because I was not expecting a natural beauty beyond what I expected. The goosebumps made my vacation special and worthwhile.

A view from uphill before reaching the City of Salalah

When we finally reached the apex, you can see the City. Its undeniably a breathtaking scene. A well lit Roads of cross line of lights are just floating like an unending gateway...is simply awesome. I mean "AWESOME".
