A Basket of Omani Dates.

David A Lockwood Black & White. 27/09/201308/09/2015

Nikon F4, 24mm f2.8 AFd with T-max 400 @ 320.

I have a terrible weakness for dates 🙂 (not the horrible dried shrivelled things I see in UK)

They are very nutritious and a general maxim here in Oman is that; if there is nothing else available, one can live on just dates and water for a very long time.

Nice picture! But really, what a fabulous basket. I could do with some of those around the house.

  Yes, I have watched them being made, wonderful skill and almost the feeling of the scene being played out for hundreds of years.

    Now, for me, that would be a golden opportunity for a video, or a timelapse, if the makers would cooperate.
