Al Rayhaan Garden

Arrayhaan (basil) Garden is small and set among homes under construction (the garden may not be quite finished, either). We found it on a map at the last garden we visited, so thought we’d check it out. The garden itself is pretty unremarkable, but it’s located right on the wadi so has a huge expanse of trees behind it, and also has something that looks like an amphitheater right next to it.

The series on this garden wouldn’t be complete without a shadow picture! And another one posted earlier today:

Dazzling arrays of light and shadow. Holds the eye like a magnet. V

More great shadows, Helen. Sometimes it pays to photograph at the "wrong" time of day. V

I think the architect was very clever to envisage the results of sunlight and shadow.
