Al Sheeh Garden revisted

I had last visited Al Sheeh Garden more than a year ago (how can time be going so quickly here!) at a very different time of day. I hadn’t been able to take many pictures then as there were Saudi families picnicking on the lawn, but this time the park was empty except for a man and his two dogs we ran into.

This image was taken from the desert side of the garden; below is the urban side:

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/250s f/11.0 at 32.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I am amazed at how the desert looks so stark against the garden wall! Great image for us Helen! V
