Bahla Fort (Qal'at Bahla) is one of four historic fortresses situated at the foot of the Djebel Akhdar highlands in Oman. It was built in the 13th and 14th centuries, when the oasis of Bahla was prosperous under the control of the Banu Nabhan tribe. The fort's ruined adobe walls and towers rise some 165 feet above its sandstone foundations. Nearby to the southwest is the Friday Mosque with a 14th-century sculpted mihrab. The fort was not restored or conserved before 1987, and had fallen into a parlous state, with parts of the walls collapsing each year in the rainy season. The fort became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It was included in the List of World Heritage in Danger from 1988. Restoration works began in the 1990s, and nearly $9m were spent by the Omani government from 1993 to 1999. It remained covered with scaffolding and closed to tourists for many years. It was removed from the list of endangered sites in 2004.

Stealing photos is wrong, and I find my photos lifted a LOT. The above is from a website; it sure looks amazingly like my shot flic.kr/p/2fVXr8H
For Flickr Pro members, you have access to Pixsy to help find these. Last year Pixsy found my photos for sale on Adobe Stock!
I agreed to let their lawyers go after the case, and Pixsy failed. Someone by the name of Otman had lifted my photos, uploaded to Adobe Stock, and was actively selling them. Pixsy was unable to do anything. An obvious case of theft; Adobe and the seller Otman were profiting from my work!
I was able to send Adobe a takedown notice and had my photos removed. But they still kept the profits they made with Otman. Sadly it's a Whac-A-Mole as a new Otman will create a new account and is back in business making money for the thief and Adobe (or wherever else they are selling them)
Yes, I could watermark my images, but that would take away from their beauty. And anyone with Photoshop skills can remove most watermarks pretty easily.

Véritable icône du Vieux-Montréal et joyau du patrimoine québécois, la basilique Notre-Dame a été construite entre 1824 et 1829 par l’architecte James O’Donnell qui s’est inspiré des deux tours de Notre-Dame de Paris. Première église de style néo-gothique au Canada, elle est désignée lieu historique national.
Comme le million de visiteurs qui viennent chaque année s’y recueillir et admirer ce chef d’œuvre d'architecture, vous serez émerveillés par la richesse de son décor intérieur en bois sculpté, peint et doré à la feuille d’or, son sanctuaire, ses couleurs et ses vitraux qui racontent l’histoire de Montréal. Et comme eux, vous voudrez immortaliser en photo cette splendeur qui allie art et mission religieuse, conçue par l’architecte montréalais Victor Bourgeau. (Google)
Bien que construite en 1904, ce n'est qu'en 1910 que la chapelle fût agrandie pour donner le résultat ci-haut. Le Frère André y avait sa modeste chambre à l'étage
Reportedly the oldest house in Santa Fe, New Mexico. There is some evidence that a portion of the house was constructed before the arrival of the Spaniards, circa 1600s.

A National Historic Landmark, the Painted Desert Inn is a lodge complex in Petrified Forest National Park, in Navajo County, eastern Arizona.
We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa in Bernalillo, New Mexico for a few nights in late April. The first evening we ate on one of their patios, next to this delightful fireplace. It was chilly and the fire was appreciated!
A touch of warm light brightens the pleasing rounded, abstract forms in the Adobe badlands near Delta, Colorado.
Finding ourselves with a free morning in Montrose--unfortunately just before fall color erupted in the San Juans--Josh and Sky and I decided to check out the badlands so visible outside of town around Montrose and Delta. Some quick looking on google earth led us up a dirt road in the pre-dawn dark until we found something of a parking area. We took a trail down from the bluff and headed west over the the undulating landscape, wondering what the view would be once dawn approached and we could see beyond the range of our headlamps. Soon the brightening twilight revealed badland terrain more vast than we expected, and we scampered up to the highest nearby ridge to best take in the morning light and shadow that elevates the badlands so.
It was an impromptu outing, and our photographic efforts in that unfamiliar place were pretty random. But the winds were calm and, unusually for that hour, we were suddenly inspired to turn on some music while we welcomed the new day among those badland formations of not-quite-dirt and not-quite-stone. It turned out to be a great morning.
Thanks for viewing.
