There is a poetry in the Omani desert landscape which is both timeless and ever-changing.
I set my alarm very early one morning, and headed out with a head lamp and my cameras to climb the dune behind my room. It wasn’t as dark as I’d expected, but I’d forgotten how hard it can be to climb through sand. On the steeper sections, I was on all fours like a bear, trying not to sink too deeply, and using my hands to keep from tumbling backwards. Finally, I reached the top and an undulating vista stretched out before (and behind!) me.
