Hi

A few months back I posted this thread on visiting a mountain village in Oman during the religious festival of Eid Al Adha.
I've finally managed to add a second installment to my original blog post on this fantastic experience and here are some of the newer images.



Fires are lit in specially prepared pits. Once the fire has burnt down to coals they place large (like a goat or beef quarters) pieces of meat, cover the oven and let it bake for up to two days.



As I mention in the blog, don't be fooled by the traditional garb, in this photograph are engineers, technicians, teachers, businessmen and students, returned from far and wide for the Eid celebrations.




Most Omani villages, not matter how small, have a mosque which is central to village life. Green is traditionally associated with Islam, hence the green panes of glass (or sometimes lights) on the minaret.





Before the sun has lifted above the horizon fires are lit in anticipation of cooking more kebabs then you've ever seen in one place in your life.



Our barbecue for breakfast! Piles of spiced, fragrant, smoky kebabs fresh off the fire. And this was only a portion of what was cooked that morning.
