Bimah Sinkhole, Oman

[calai]

Probably formed when the ground over an underground river to the ocean caved in. There were several kids swimming in the depths below, with a good set of stairs leading down to it. Had we been prepared, a swim would have been very tempting. Surprisingly, there was good facilities next to the sink hole – it looked like changing rooms and showers. A spectacular limestone crater with blue-green water at the bottom.

I like the depth and perspective of the first shot. Looks a long way down - and a longer way up.

I've never seen this type of thing before. Thanks for posting.

Gorgeous shots - one of the things I enjoy most about DPS is seeing so many places of the world that I've never been to, and will likely never get to either. This is one of them. I also love your first shot in particular as my favorite, Great perspective. Thanks for taking me there!
