A closer view

The other day we were driving around southern Riyadh, not far from the DQ, to see what was there. I remembered having seen a very affluent neighborhood one evening a while ago and also wanted to revisit it in daylight. This will just be a series of captures of the houses there, many of which are still under construction. Maybe I’ll make a small gallery for the afternoon, but don’t have time to now and not sure I have enough decent pictures to make one anyway!

This was a beautiful house, well designed and obviously lived in. The sun was really in the wrong place so couldn’t get the shot I wanted (plus one still has to be careful going around and photographing people’s houses!), but hopefully this will give an idea of how nice it was.

The high gate stops anyone seeing what lies behind but I can only imagine wealth! V
