Nice hot day on Dubai Creek. The Dhows ply goods thruout the Persian Gulf and across  as far as India and the east coast of Africa.

 Very interesting image, Tom!  I love the shape and color of the ship's hulls and the ropes that anchor them in the foreground.  The many background structures suggest that this is very much a working port.

Tom: really like seeing the dhows with the Arab style architecture in the background. It's a very evocative capture. Richard

Beautifully composed, Tom, with the boats anchoring ( sorry - no pun intended !! ) the image perfectly.  Love the soft light and the delicate tonality of this.
