tallg's picture



The first winner of 2 tickets for a Suhoor meal at the InterCon's Ramadan tent has been chosen;

Iftar Canon by Joe!!

Iftar is when fasting is broken during the holy month of Ramadan. Followers of Islam, fast from Sunrise to Sunset during this month. In Qatar, a canon is fired to mark the end of the day's fast. People here, gather to near it to watch the canon being fired and then rush home where a delicious meal awaits them.

I tried to capture the canon being fired but the ground shook and also it was SO quick that all I captured was smoke!! :)

Congratulations to brotherjoe. You'll receive a PM with details of how to collect your tickets.

There are two more winners to be announced before the end of Ramadan, so keep submitting your entries. Full details of the shoot and how to submit photos can be found in the original post here.

It's worth entering as you'll have a good chance of winning. Only 8 people have submitted photos so far out of 174 photo group members! Me thinks this group is on its last legs!
