Home sweet home

I just had to post one last picture of camels because I really like them, and also because they’re so rare to see in Riyadh. As I said on the previous two pictures, this might be the fringes of the relocated camel souk, and it was very interesting because every group of camels had some setup with metal pots as seen here, and often some kind of living accommodation, like a tent (in background) or a trailer. The camel herder is also visible here.

Out for a walk, posted earlier.

I know how much your love your camels Helen! This is a charming capture of them! I'm always fascinated by the colors of camels! V

Camels and high tension electrical wires. A land of contradictions and exotic beauty. V

They do seem to represent the mid east desert area so well. You've captured them beautifully here along with cultural aspect. V.

A harsh landscape, a harsh life, but who's to say they're not as satisfied with life as those who live in cities.

Looks like there are a lot of accoutrements to carry and set up for the herder. Interesting. :)

So interesting to see the traditional desert life after all the super modern buildings in the city which you have shown, Helen. V

They do look like nomads with their pot and pans, and camels of course! A fine shot, too. V
