tag of the month

pick six, says pix...
so here i am.. .

what i had to do: 
go to the 6th folder in my pics folder.. 
pick the 6th pic.
tell u a story abt it. 

6th folder in my pics.. was "oman"
6th pic there was this. 

this is the fort at barka *a beautiful little village just outside muscat - i think it was an hour's drive away*... made completely with mud.  it's hundreds of years old *this means that i've forgotten how old it is and don't feel like googling!* and in perfectly good condition. it is not, however, open to the public anymore. *i'm guessing THAT is why it's in such impeccable condition.* 
behind it are natural hot water springs. and a valley with little mud houses with absolutely gorgeous colorful doors! the valley had corpses of headless goats. to appease the evil spirits, so they *the spirits* would not devour the cattle or goats owned by the people living there.

brought back memories... this pic. been a while since i saw these pics. remembered how much i'd loved the place... and the warmth of the locals! 

i tag dewdrop, purnima and galadriel... to pick one pic from their albums...and tell us the story behind it.
