HWW Mutrah Muscat Oman 1st December 2011
Mutrah Fort from across the harbour with the corniche running in front. The rugged mountains behind are part of the Upper Cretaceous Semail ophiolite complex of ultramafic mantle rocks.

A great landscape, the old fort blends with the mountains! I didn't know about the Semail ophiolite though I have visited Gros Morne- you learn something new every day:-)

It's fascinating to think how they began building such a structure on such a sheer landscape,..lots and lots of pure manpower I guess / A great shot.. keep well Pete,. and a HWW from Dj.
