Bahrain - Manama - Migrant worker awaits flight home

With feet up on airport seating, a migrant worker awaits his homeward flight from Bahrain to South-Asia. Sitting with legs gathered and with shoes removed - in the manner that people subjected to fierce desert or tropical heat try to keep cool, although in this airpirt terminal building, air-conditioning allows more comfort. The young man works on building projects somewhere in the middle-east region and is either in transit of beginning his jounrey to India, Pakistan or perhaps Bangladesh, seen here months before the terrorist attacks on America that changed the public's attitude to flying on commercial airliners.
