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.

After the excitement of the Marine Ball (posted last night and pictured below), I seem to be back to DQ parks! We’re hoping to travel to some of the other Gulf countries over the winter, so hopefully I’ll have some different things to photograph in time. Meanwhile, I guess it’s just greenery and shopping malls ;-).

I find the combination of those sunscreens and the different shapes those fountains in the park have, very attractive.
