Al-Hotta Cave

Located in Oman, Nizwa by the foot of Shams Mountain.
Photographing in the cave wasn't allowed hence I had to take shots of whats outside.

A lovely white goat which appeared out of the blue somewhere near the cave's area:

This is by the artificial entrance of the cave :

Nefertiti

Hi everybody,

Long time not having a post nor a look on the page but I'm glad to see there are more and more varied works uploaded. it's motivating to see varied artists sharing some photos on a rather small scale. So here's my humble contribution :

F 11.0 / Focal =46 mm / ISO Speed = 100
The model is Sarah
Just an experiment done in a small studio
Ciao

ps : Nefertiti is her idol, it might explain the title.

The moon just before dawn...

For some reason I was very early this morning, and I couldn't resist looking on the internet to see what the weather would be like. hmm...rain all day...hey wait a minute! During the morning the rain will start. Before that it is an almost clear sky! So I got my photogear and went outside and all the way to the Gaasperplas, Amsterdam to make some photo's of the sunrise. I was lucky. It was a beautiful morning!

Venice without the tourists

Waking up early allows you to enjoy Venice without the tourists that crowd St. Mark Square everyday. The above photos I took around 6:30AM, just off St. Mark Square, note the wooden platforms against the acquas altas which flood this area of Venice several times a year. ^_^;;
