Photographer’s Note
Shibam in Wadi Hadramawt (The Manhattan of the desert) in Yemen is a true wonder. A walled town of 500 tower houses built of mud that is 2500 years old. In the late afternoon children and men come to play football on the dusty fields.

Very impressive photo, Simon.
Well taken with the refections in the pool and the warm light on the houses.
What a beautiful place.
Regards, Gerrit

Hello Simon,
It is a great job with this alignment of buildings and their reflection in the water.
Well seen and well done

Hello Simon
Such amazing buildings and you have captured them exceptionally well with the late afternoon sun and the perfect reflections. I have seen this location before on TE - even with a game of football in the foreground but this example is very good. Tfs, Marlene
