PS029  Fresh from the morning catch of an Omani
fisherman. 



Sohar is situated in the coastal area of Al Batinah region. It has a newly constructed, modern and one of the biggest Fish Market in the region.  Most of the fishermen sell their catch here on a wholesale basis to fish vendors. They seldom sell their catch directly to the people and if they do, you have to go through a lot of talking to convince them.  I did not try doing that because in the first place i am not fluent in arabic and they also know little english or none at all.  So i just press on the shutter of my camera... and catch my own version of the fish.  ;-)

Precision

at Sohar Corniche.



Winter season has come to Oman as marked by the appearance of migrating birds such as the sooty gull.  I happen to take a photo of this one when we were on the floating dock just outside the Sohar Fish Market watching local kids catching fish using tiny nylon rope and hooks.  The area is swarmed with small fish giving opportunity for the sooty gull to swiftly and smoothly, and with precision to catch its meal for breakfast.
