The weather has been all over the place in the last few days. Stunningly warm winter days with hazy, cloudy skies. The kind of haze that lingers through the day and dissipates at night. And then three days later, the temperature drops seven degrees and […]

May 2016 | Muttrah, Oman
Ever find yourself looking up a lot? I do. And then I get rewarded with scenes like this. Taken in Muttrah, Oman just as the sun was setting. Being May, it was still plenty hot. But with a slight breeze and no direct sun, enjoyable […]
