As a pilot with The Royal Flight for 10 years, John Nowell had always marvelled at the natural beauty of Oman in all its diversity. Photography and flying, his two passions, have resulted in a Day Above Oman - a stunning portrait, with both aerial and ground shots, of one of the most beautiful countries of Arabia.

The sun rises over stark natural landscapes, while people set about their daily activities, leaving long shadows in their trail. Progressively colours become brighter, and Oman's varied landscapes come to life. From city life to that of small villages perched atop rugged mountains, from the calm of the sands to that of the seas, John Nowell has composed a moving portrait of the country and its people. The day draws to a close over Muscat, with the lights emphasising the city's dramatic location.
