Oman is super safe, but everywhere in the world you have strange people and as I went alone for the first time, I only brought my little Canon G7X. I was actually happy not standing there alone with full gear. I'm not concerned to return to this spot, but either with the little camera of the works (big camera, tripod and Norbert)
Although I'm quite happy with the photos, I think I have to return because the festive lights were not on yet...
I like the light trails. Look forward to seeing your festive lights. I totally share your thoughts about being out alone in the evening with lots of expensive camera gear.
This camera has done a very good job to capture the streaks of lights along the highway. I see the I see the domes of one of the mosques all lit up for the evening and they make a lovely addition to your picture. Now I'm curious to see the festive lighting.
