A street stall in Manama, Bahrain. One of the salvaging project photos, worth it for the exotic interest (?) The blame for the blown out bits is entirely mine and not of the superb little Nikon 5700 compact which I now see was groaning under my mishandling.

Not sure what his' working on. Appears to be something in the fabric industry. Looks like it was a very interesting place to photograph.

Thanks for looking, macmac. The clutter is fascinating, and I'm curious what satisfaction he gets from putting in the days at his stall. Wouldn't be much money coming in, I think.

As long as he's enjoying what his doing! Nice shot, you should've asked what is that he was making. :D

Trying to speak Arabic would've put my tongue into a worse knot than all my thumbs on the camera... Not to mention what effect it might have had on the delicate operation he is engrossed in!!!

Is it cobbler? I think that's what it is called!
