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.

A striking low-angle view of a tactile paving strip designed for visually impaired pedestrians. The bold yellow bumps create a mesmerizing pattern leading into the distance, enhancing both safety and urban aesthetics. The dramatic perspective and rich contrast bring out the texture and depth, making this everyday accessibility feature a captivating visual journey.
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

Grateful to my friend Lindsay and her mom Lillian for allowing me to photograph them under the stars.
This was an experiment in trying to emulate a photo Richard Tatti has shown on his YouTube channel, with two people illuminated by a single LED fairy light to make it look like a glow from the lantern. I really like how it turned out.
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.

I took a guided tour to Delphi and bus ride from Athens was about 2 hours and 30 minutes. We stopped at a little town where got out to stretch out our legs, buy bottled water, and eat a few snacks before continuing our scenic route to Delphi. Once we arrived, our tour guide showed us several ancient ruins of Delphi. She showed us the treasury where the Greek city states would come in and put their treasure, gold, and money as part of an offering to the Greek god Apollo. We also saw the remains of Apollo's temple, theatre, and stadium. Then we had a short tour of the nearby museum. After having lunch, we saw the remains of the Oracle before returning to Athens.
I'm really diggin' the black and whites lately.

(From All About bird) - Although some start breeding at two years of age, Sandhill Cranes may reach the age of seven before breeding. They mate for life—which can mean two decades or more—and stay with their mates year-round. Juveniles stick close by their parents for 9 or 10 months after hatching.
