This is a scan from a print that was made from an old colour slide, taken on 8 December 1966. We lived in Doha, Qatar (Middle East), for just six months. This particular day was very special. One of the local Sheikhs, Sheikh Nasser, put on a "picnic" for employees and their families of one of the large oil companies. Various aspects of nomadic life were carefully arranged for us to see and enjoy, including a typical woven tent, a magnificent camel wearing its spectacular woven dressings, the slaughter of an animal hung from a wooden tripod and then prepared and cooked for us. This meal was eaten inside the tent, with everyone sitting in a circle on woven rugs - no knives or forks of course - and was followed by the preparation of coffee over a fire (and using the beautiful coffee pots that I love so much). Also a trained Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug) was on its perch. A day I've never forgotten, including a ride on one of their camels (what an experience!). A most enjoyable day and one that we all greatly appreciated. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doha -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is s scan of an old photo I took in the 1970s (1972-1978), of the various items used to make coffee in Oman (Middle East). We had to get written permission to be allowed to take photos in the National Museum of Oman, Qurm, and this was very generously given. I am still in love with the copper coffee pots of various designs and the long-handled, large copper spoons used to roast the coffee beans : ) So much more character than simply turning on my kettle! Oman and its people have such a huge place in my heart : )
