Hi Stephen,
A stunning view of one of the many incredible towns in Yemen. I was there a few years ago but failed to reach Djibla because I couldn't find any transportation from Ibb. I hope you liked Yemen as much as I did. There was shocking news yesterday of several Spanish tourists that were killed in a bomb attack. Yet I felt completely safe everywhere.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Stephen, I discovered this little marvel in your "randoms", the scenery is perfect and the POV well chosen - great sharpness in the details, this place inspires me a lot and I'd love to go there one day !
TFS,
Cath.
