Brunch with Battutah
Flori and Kika get new hats - Muscat, Oman
Posted by Michael Skorulski (Cigel, Slovakia) on 13 January 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
The souk or open market on the Corniche in Muscat is a Sinbad's dream of exotic paraphernalia. We wandered around until we found a stall selling these Pakistani hats, which my daughters enjoyed very much.This is one of my favorite photos of the kiddies. It is scanned from a 35-mm picture.
@Ras: Many thanks, Ras.
