kneels next to the fire making coffee

In the distance a small fishing dhow sails through calm shallow water along Shindagha beach

In the distance beyond tree covered hillsides border large grass-covered downs

Behind them a line of tree grows along a dune

smoking a water-pipe in a tea-house

being poled forward by a man standing at the stern and paddled by a boy in the bow

In the background small tufts of sedge grow across a vast expanse of flat sand bordered by a far dune

which slopes up into a low crest in the background
