If you have been following along on this exploration of Oman, you have heard me mention my guide numerous times. This is Faisal.
He is dressed in the typical attire that Omani men wear to work and he had a wardrobe that always amazed me. The interesting thing about our meeting is that I learned that he had seen more sights in America than I had. Strangely enough, I had seen more sights in the Arab world than he had.
I guess that my love affair with the Arab world started years ago when I did a road trip through Morocco. The streets are so vibrant with souks and so mysterious with huge doors and walls surrounding individual homes.
Despite the tensions that occur between nations, they are soon forgotten when individuals meet during their travels.This is especially true in Oman, a country that works very hard to stay neutral in the Islamic world.
If ever you decide to take a trip to this hospitable and lovely country, I am certain that you would love being with Faisal. His name is Faisal Al Kindi and you can contact him @ +96898777999 or by email: jetstang96@yahoo.com.

Managed to catch a fleeting 4 mins of sunlight at St Cwyfan's, Anglesey. Always a stunning place to visit.

Last week was a marathon run where I saw the dark side of sunrise and sunset 7 of 8 days. In the middle of all that, I was conducting a private photo tour with Jeffrey Wu from Toronto, Ontario. Check out his stream for a few images of our time together. Going in, I fully expected to do a lot of teaching, but ultimately, I simply got to play tour guide. Over meals, we talked photography and I even got some sage advice that I hope to carry with me on my photographic journey. And it is a journey. As we go through this photographic life, there are signs along the way, obstacles we must overcome, and milestones to be reached if we just keep at it.
The Shot:
Headed to Davenport the other morning and took advantage of the overcast skies for some long exposures of the crack. Even ran into a couple from New Jersey who had driven cross country and ended up in Davenport. They helped inflate my ego a bit when they told me they were drawn to the area because of some of my images. That was cool. :)
The Gear:
Nikon D7000
Nikkor 12-24mm @ 12mm
71 sec, f11, ISO 160
Lee Big Stopper and .9 Soft GND filters
Their pets.
I know some cultures think differently from me.
Keep an animal (reptile) of this size in a small cage, not being able to swim, hunt and procreate. I felt sorry.
I regretted having entered this house, touched the animals, bought goods. I encouraged one thing I did not agree to.
I hope next time, my reasoning will be quick.
Our tour guide in Antigua.
During our bus tour she was answering questions from us and one came up about their national anthem. She said "It's beautiful and I'm not the best singer but if you'd like I'll sing it for you". She sang their national anthem and by the time she was finished she had tears streaming down her cheeks because she loves her country that much. Very touching to say the least.
It really was a good tour and she made it even better. I noticed when we got off the bus the tourists had compensated her well and she certainly deserved it.
No mistaking this loco anywhere with those external oil pipes.
Returning empty fuel tanks from probably Jarrow or Leeds to Stanlow Oil Refinery.

He will guide each of his children and his entire people, who seek HIM. Do you need a guide or rudderless you travel?

Born November 7, 1913: January 4, 1960 Died
Don't wait for the last judgment - it takes place every day.
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.

Guiding airbound travel along the icy rocks of the Northern floating ice field, the old "I C Rocks" lightship – lovingly nicknamed „Trusty Rusty“ – has been a fixture for more than twenty years. Every airship pilot rejoices at the sight of her fire-red hull, for this signaled that arrvial in Belleville airspace was only a few more hours away. Also, without her bright light, the sharp edges of the floating ice rocks (also known as „skycicles“) would spell certain disaster for most airships – especially blimp-based transportation.
Her crew of four spends more than a year at a time on board, bracing fierce weather conditions with temperatures sometimes falling below - 40° C giving the daily maintenance and de-icing of the light tower prime importance.
Who could resist such a beautiful smile.... certainly not me! She is one of hundreds of college kids that 'work' Alaska during the summer, saving money, having adventures and honing their public / people skills.
I didn't get a chance to get her name... we were interrupted by others with questions about the tours. With a smile like that.... she will do well in this world!
