Description
Portrait of a man walking inside a market (suq) in Manama on Bahrain Island. In the foreground a large patch of shade cast by an overhead canopy covers a thoroughfare. Behind a man in a light thobe (long shirt) and headscarf walks through a spot of sunlight along a market thoroughfare. Market stalls line either side of the aisle, and in the far distance men stand at stalls.
