Description Mar 7, 2014, 6:08:06 PM
With approximately 20 minutes remaining before the call to 'Maghrib' prayers, the mostly South Asian Muslim ferrymen are seen here relaxing with their co-workers. They'll be heading off soon to pray at one of the many mosques scattered throughout the old districts of Deira and Bur Dubai.

The Maghrib prayer (Arabic: صلاة المغرب‎ ṣalāt al-maġrib, "evening prayer"), prayed just after sunset, is the fourth of five formal daily prayers (salat) performed by practicing Muslims.

Thank you so much dear Canan!
I think five DDs are more than enough to last me a lifetime!
But if you must, then please suggest the works of our underappreciated Deviants,
because they are the ones who truly deserve the exposure and support of the DeviantArt Community.

Late, but congrats again!  I'm thrilled that Arichy suggested this photo, the lighting around the time for the Maghrib prayer is always gorgeous.  You have a knack for making moments that seem boring to photograph become amazing stories!

MARX77 In reply to tanikel [2014-10-01 19:38:53 +0000 UTC]

As I'm sure you know, given your remarkable adventures and experience in an Islamic country, that the time just before the Maghrib prayers is also more popularly known amongst photographers as the Golden Hour.
Sincerest thanks for your kind words, Kristina, and thank you once again for the feature.

I am gradually recovering from a period of very severe overworking due to some unanticipated "features" of my new job. Hopefully I'll be able to post more frequently now, I have some unprocessed shots. Thanks for your continuous support, and stay tuned!
