Way out

This will be the last picture in this garden gallery for now, until we go back, hopefully when the water is running. And to think I almost didn’t take any pictures on this visit ;-).

Thank you for all the kind comments – I think everybody was as surprised as I was to find this lush oasis in the middle of the desert!

We are leaving for five days in Oman tomorrow, and I don’t know what my Internet situation will be, but I hope to bring back some interesting pictures. I have wanted to go there for like 30 years, and finally will be able to. I can’t wait!

Great composition, Helen. The shadows look almost as substantial as the gate. Have fun in a place I'll probably only see in crossword puzzles. V
