حفلة شاي, Tea on the desert KNOLL, by Alistair

"Salim stopped the camels and unloaded a small reed basket. We followed him to the top of a rocky knoll overlooking the oasis. He unpacked a silver tray, upon which he arranged six glasses for the Tea."

(Well with KNOLL I'm going to have to use my imagination! Apologies if Arabic translation is wrong!)

You have an Arabic keyboard? The color and light is just great here Al. Thanks for the short story too.

Not only it is well executed, but i like the way you went around your theme Al. Weather is pretty the same here, so bound to make indoor shots as well. Gets you creative !

Beautiful pict. I like in which way you have put the center of interest (the focused glass) just in one of the extrems of the frame. I like these pastel colours too. And, of course, your take of the theme. Really, theme is no more than an excuse to shake our minds! endika

lol! Shirley, it's been puring with rain here, so chances of getting out to photo a 'real' knoll are pretty much non-existent. OK, it's cheating, but needs must... Alistair

I wish I could be so creative with my word! I don't know what made you think of such a story but, there ya go, you thought of it and creatively produced tea glasses to represent the story of the Tea on the Desert Knoll. Very interesting classes too!
