Pleasant walkway park (5)

This is a series of pictures from yet another unnamed walkway park, one that Sahraa particularly likes to visit. It’s long and narrow with two fountains and abundant greenery and provides some respite from the heat.

The other fountain in this park. Sahraa always wants to take a dip in this one, although for a while I wasn’t comfortable there because two migrant laborers were sleeping on mattresses every day right next to it. Finally, one day they just disappeared. Good thing because I was considering reporting them to our security people or the DQ police.

I guess it seems like I'm rushing, but I did want to get this entire series posted today. Just one more to go, maybe.

looks pleasantly cooling - Sahraa will be following her nose in the time honoured doggy fashion
