The industrial area of Souq Sharbi in Omdurman is one of my favourite places in Khartoum. It bustles with activity and people garfting for a living. There are sopa factories, haulage companies and auto-repiar shops. All the dusty streets (no tarmac here) are stained with black oil and the smoke fills the sky some days.

These guys were breaking stones for a living. When I walked past they were playing cards - which is not something you should be doing on a Khartoum street as it is (I have been told) against the law.

This photo is best described as a snap; the DOF isn't quite right and I had to struggle with it because the sun is actually just a little to the left behind the scene. Still, it's a nice momento.
