Al Yamamah Garden

Al Yamamah Garden must be one of, if not the, largest parks in the Diplomatic Quarter. I was floored at its sheer size – and at the number of fountains it has – we counted 14. In addition to the arcaded sections, there is a huge lawn with trees and then an enormous area with kids’ play equipment. Tim says this park is never empty, and indeed we saw several couples walking around here and a number of families having a picnic in the grassy area.

Looking towards the mosque next door to the park from the fountain pictured below:

Another beautifully captured play of geometry and light, and as usual a fine pairing of images.

An excellent POV to show the setting of this fountain with all those different shapes.
