2012
For the rest of the 2012 travel notes, brief ones have been transferred from the sub-page of this tab:
28.06.2012 to 28.07.2012, Oman. All finished, a few good pics but as nothing really went as planned those that I wanted never got taken. Had time to back track on some data that was missing for my stumbling Mosque Project. The country is so beautiful though an Oman trip must always be a pleasure.
01.08.2012 to 29.08.2012, UK. All done as well with a great time in Scotland and very few pictures taken.
27.09.2012 to 08.10.2012, Un-expected trip to Oman as I was asked to provide the images for the OMC 2013 Calendar again. Fun but found out that it is hard work working to a deadline.
01.10.2012 to 18.11.2012, North Germany on to the Darß, it is Crane migration time again, then across to the the German/Polish border and a slow ramble backwards and forwards in and out of the various National Parks along the way down to Görlitz. From there check out the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in the National Park.. Then a wee bit of culture on the way home with visits in Dresden and Lepzig and that is about it for 2012.
This also did not go as planned as:
-The trip to Oman chopped off the front end so the trip to the Darß did not happen nor the slow ramble down to Görlitz.
-The Elbe Sandstone Mountains, made that but cut this short as discovered that will have to plan it totally differently in conjunction with the Park management. One can drive around parts of it, but camping with a van is not on, and most of the good stuff needs to be done on foot.
-From there finally made it to Görlitz and much to my surprise spent almost a week. Massive amount of history and some really good image opportunities, some of which I shall post in the Travel Gallery.
