Sheba Wadi

The weekend arrives and time to head out, this time towards the wadi the contains the remnants of Sheba Palace.

No, not the Queen of Sheba but an ancient family called Sheba that once had a palace on one of the hills.

All that is left is part of the central room and one can see the outlines of the walls that once surrrounded the buildings and grounds.



Then onward into the wadi so that SLS can continue his training as a wadi basher.


First there is the bump and roll (Quicktime) as we go deeper into the wadi.
Then there is the run out onto the flat as he emerges
And pass by the original off-road transport.

Goats in trees (maybe a movie hiding somewhere here).
Then home to our dumpster diving goats.

Did I mention we have a lot of goats wandering around here?

....Bumpy.

Is there a goat farm or something or are there just random, wildlife goats wandering around?

Goats in trees! You have to be kidding! Is that a photoshop trick? I will have to use that as a desktop background at work.

All photos are as is, SLS will verify. It is amazing where goats can go and you are sure they have hands instead of hooves.
Many of the goats here are left to roam for forage, returning in the evening for water and feed. As the people have abandoned marginal farms more and more goat herds are just released and are becoming feral. This also includes many stray donkeys and some camels. It is a problem for the environment but still a daily fact here.

Goats In A Tree - perhaps the sequel to Snakes On A Plane?

I can hear Samuel L Jackson's voice already...
