Description
View of dhows (sailboats) beached in Manama on Bahrain Island. A small beached dhow with a single mast sits in shallow water along the shore of Manama. Two posts sticking out of the sand prop the boat into an upright position. Behind it another beached dhow sits in the water, listing heavily to one side. In the far right distance houses line the shore along a far bank.
