The wadi (7)

The wadi is a dry riverbed that runs though Riyadh and in particular through the DQ, but with the heavy rains we have had here over the last week, parts of it are anything but dry.

This completes my series on the wadi. I have a feeling I'll never see it with this much water again (if any) and that from now on it will just look as it does in the first two images in this series.

This is how the wadi normally looks:

I'm sure those rains are welcome in the desert. We have some spare rain here, if you need some more.

Interesting to see the wadi like this. I like how you've framed the water and reflections. V

Great! You go to the desert of Saudi Arabia and get a fine photograph of reflections in a pool of rainwater!

Such a shame this area will again dry up, but I guess you have the best images for you memories. V.
