Description 20 kms from the small bustling town of nizwa, we came across to manah, which held a village, deserted in 1971. the streets were lonely, with two storied buildings that ran the risk of falling down any moment, with a mosque pretty much intact and guarded by a lone watch tower.

Second Prize Winner at the Oman Today - Fuji Film Photography Competition under the 'Culture and Heritage' Section.

it is, i love to shoot average and the ordinary, what we lok and never see in everyday life. i think as a photographer my objective is to make the viewer say, hey i have seen that, but i never thought it was worthy of a photograph!

Nice shot. I like the lighting. Most similar shots I've seen around here have very dark 'insides'. The lighting outside as inside is very nice.

I really like the old feeling in this, combined with almost sepia tones
