While it takes many words to write literature, a single photograph is enough to create art. We hope you enjoy the best entries, now on display, of the Oman Today Photography Competition.

You will find enough depth in this issue to back up the visual, from tips on shooting the fastest race cars in the world to appreciating the work of the grandfather of landscape photography, Ansel Adams. The Bahrain Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton, dominoes in the streets, the Half Dome of Yosemite and the River of Mercy are all equal before the camera, yours for the taking. And they’re all here in Oman Today.

Of course, this issue is not just about sitting back and appreciating fine photography. Jump into the mystery of the fluttering dishdashas, among unexplored foothills, and follow the remarkable story of three men on dirt bikes who set off around Oman, through deserts, wadis and every bit of wilderness they could find.
