Arafat Day!

Arafat Day is an important occasion during the month of Hajj.
The 9th day of the month of Hajj marks a significant day for Muslims, yet it is a day not so well known or talked about in the rest of the world. The day is called the Day of Arafat.

On the first day of the Hajj Pilgrimage, Muslims sweep out of Mecca toward Mina, a small uninhabited village east of the city. As their throngs spread through Mina, the pilgrims generally spend their time meditating and praying, as the Prophet did on his pilgrimage. During the second day, the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah, pilgrims leave Mina for the plain of Arafat. The Prophet is reported to have asked Allah to pardon the sins of pilgrims who stood at Arafat, and was granted his wish. Thus, the hopeful pilgrims prepare to leave this plain joyfully, feeling reborn without sin and intending to turn over a new leaf.

Just after sunset, the mass of pilgrims proceed to Muzdalifah, an open plain halfway between Arafat and Mina. There they first pray and then collect pebbles to use on the following days. The next day begins the Eid holiday or Eid al-Adha, the festival of sacrifice.

Hi Ahmet
Great composition with the pilgrims in the foreground, foggy mountains in the background and the bolloon between :). Excellent light.

Hello Ahmet,
All the tents down there is an amazing view!
Besides, the road seems rather crowded too...
I like the fine details and the sense of depth in this well balanced composition, a good documentary!

Another interesting image about the Hajj. The rows and rows of tents are an amazing sight to see and I like the way you have used some of the pilgrims in the foreground looking out over the scene. Very interesting note.
Kath

I can see a vast of tents farther. Very good documentary shot of the pilgrims. What pleases me here also are the mountain in BG and the balloon. I noticed the sky is a bit noisy, but overall its a good shot.
Regards
Albert

Merhaba Ahmet,
A very interesting scene graphically, with a lot of depth of image, a wide landscape crammed with cars and tents, and the pilgrims in foreground.
I like the relief of the mountains in background.
The balloon adds a nice dynamic touch.
Nice photographic work and good note.
Best regards,

Merhaba Ahmet,

Great continuation of your series with another beautiful photo. Your detailed wide view tells us how the Hajj organization well organized. I think many peoples are using same places in a short time. Excellent POV while adding pilgrims and their front of valley with silhouettes of holly mountains. Congratulations.

Hi Ahmet !
A nice scene from an interesting place.
Good composition with the few people in the foreground and the view down at the many tents.I like the long diagonal of lampposts.

Another beautiful composition, dear Ahmet !
Nice view with excellent details. Excellent light and colours

Excellent and unusual scene--the white rows of tents, the white- and black-dressed pilgrims, the misty mountains at the horizon, the balloon...
Interesting note.

Hi Ahmet,
Is this the plain of Arafat or Muzdalifah? The photo tells a story without words; the pilgrims looking over the broad plain with its sweep of tents toward the mountain - Arafat? I find the way holy places are common to different religions very interesting. Your note is full of new information for me. Thank you for sharing this special time with us.
HLJ, Pat

Merhaba Ahmet, one feels through the image an unquestionable passion, very good catch of sight in extreme cases of the day and night, the festival of the sacrifice will be still a success this year, arkadacça selamlar ................ Merhaba Ahmet, l’on ressent au travers de l’image un engouement certain, très bonne prise de vue à la limite du jour et de la nuit, le festival du sacrifice sera encore une réussite cette année, arkadacça selamlar

hac fotografların ilgi çekici

Merhaba Ahmet,
Another great documentary of the Hajj. Somehow, the white clothes (that look like just towels) of the pilgrims combine with the huge tent city bellow, which in turn combines with the hills on the distance.

Hi Ahmet,

These gatherings are really impressive and this sight accentuates this feeling of crowd. The faith is very present here. I like much the montgolfier in background. Interesting photograph, thank you.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,
