Golden Eid Sunrise

At 0600 on this second day of Eid, while all of you are sleeping, I am up with the fishermen. At 0600, the sun has just risen and the sky is all pink and gold. Seconds after I shot the sunrise, the colors totally changed – the sky is totally cloudless, the surf continues flat, except for the twitchy water where small fish are swarming. And the temperature is a mere 79Β°F / 26Β°C even at 0800.

It is supposed to be hot today, but the rest of the week will be cooler. Wear your sunscreen if you are celebrating outside today.

  2. Oh Yousef, you are so right. The roads are back to normal – or worse! There is so much partying going on in my neighborhood, lots and lots of noise. Are there any official Eid Fireworks Displays?
