Geology Rocks!

 
The dramatic rock formations here in the Al Hajar Mountains are a geologist's playground. To the untrained eye, it simply looks like a scene from the battle of Armageddon. However, it’s apparently due to separation of tectonic plates between Arabia and Eurasia. Just glad I wasn't around when it happened!
