View of Wahiba Bedouin at Buraymah well in the Wadi Halfayn. In the foreground a large flock of goats and sheep crowd around a well. In the central background two Wahiba men and a woman stand at the well opening, and nearby a few other Wahiba Bedouin walk amongst the animals. On the right two boys and a few donkeys stand alongside a mud trough. In the distance beyond a flat plain of sand is bordered by a line of trees in the far background.
