Behind him some bushes grow in the sand

Rain clouds gathering in the sky

The falconer kneels in the sand

both sitting on the ground

constructed as the repository for the coffin of Qabus

An empty and calm sea fills the distance behind the dhow

Behind them large ghada (Haloxylon persicum Bunge) trees grow atop the dune

making preparations to build a new mudhif (guest house) for Hamud

In background small shrubs and bushes grow on a flat expanse of sand sitting below a sky dotted with a few fluffy clouds

One of the men is tying up a animal skin filled with water

A carved wooden screen in front of a window of a building at Seiyun

with furniture and framed pictures hanging on the wall
