Simaisma Sunset, May 2012, Qatar

Simaisma is one sleepy village/town in Qatar. Located on the east coast of the peninsula, the town is very popular for the crab hunting in season. The hunters arm themselves with just a battery-operated torch and a thin spear and wade in the shallow waters during high tide. The hunting happens mostly at dusk when the crabs crawl under the shallow waters. The setting sun lit the bush with a warm light and the mostly gray summer sky showed a little bit of color before sunset. The temperature is still climbing and am not sure where it will end this year.
