Ibrahim's Oasis

Date Palm Covered Walking Lane
This pathway leads from the back of Ibrahim's house to his barnyard. I imagined how cool this lane would be in the hot summer months as compared to the surrounding desert.
Ibrahim's many date palms bear more fruit than his family can eat and store so they sell them to local vendors. They raise a couple hundred pigeons for the squabs they produce and they have a few dozen chickens. He has five milk cows and a few beef cows, four donkeys, and dozens of goats & sheep on the farm.
