One Evening at Idku

Last weekend, I left my handphone's charger in my office, which is about 50 km away. I have got no choice, but to take it, to charge my handphone's drained-out battery. The lessons learnt; no matter how busy you are, be focused and organised. No matter how the situation is, we must take sometime to focus on Safety, Security, Health and Environment. I took this opportunity exploring the nearby date farm and Burullus lake. It was indeed a fine evening.

The above photo was taken at Burullus lake, next to the Idku date farm. One of the main occupation of the Idkuian is fishing, which is categorised into two types, i.e., Sea and Lake fishing. Many of them, the fishermen, started their 'office hours' as early as 06:00 hours and went home around 18:30 hours, together with the sun who obediently complied to Allah swt's Rules.
What is quite unusual about the date or balah in the local dialect is, it start producing its new shoot or flowering in early March (normally is early April or some in late March). I have asked my Egyptian friends, some of them said this phenomena could be due to some extend the global warming. Apparently, the winter this year was mild and short. Spring resume its duty early this year. Ultimately, all these are by Allah Rabbul Jalil.
