These days it is ‘nature’ that connects Hasik in Dhofar in the south of the Sultanate of Oman, with La Roche- en- Ardenne, my hometown in Belgium.

Two hundred kilometers to the east of Salalah in Dhofar, direction Hasik, the magnificent natural scenery of giant water spouting rocks catches the whole year round the visitor’s eyes.

In La Roche-en-Ardenne, in the magnificent winter scenery, dripping stalactites along the roads are the eye-catchers.
