DAY 6 - Oct 26

I went to Qal'at al-Bahrain. It is an important archeological site with remains found dating back to 2,500 BC. Anciently it was the harbor and capital of Dilmun. It has layers upon layers of different civilizations built upon it until finally, in the 16th century A.D. the Portuguese occupied it and built upon and added the fort already on top of thousands of years of other structures. The Portuguese arrived after their explorer, Lodovico Barthema, visited the pearl fisheries in the gulf. They removed a century later by the Persians. Qal'at al-Bahrain was designated by UNESCO as a world heritage site.

That spot on the right in the sky is showing up on all my photos. It's not the lens. It shows up no matter which lens. It must be on the sensor which I don't dare touch.

The thick humid air makes it look like there's water between here and there.
