Al Taleh Garden

This park is one of Sahraa’s favorites in the DQ; she always tries to drag me there when I have to take her out, but it’s too far and I normally refuse to go.

When I do end up there, I can never find anything to focus on because it’s just row after row of palm trees. So this time, I had a subject!

It is good to see Sahraa looking happy and enjoying life. I understand the issue of trying to find something to focus on, when you know a place well. That is why I like a macro lens, to change scale and perspective of the common.

Very nice setting for the portrait.V.
