Burj Al Anoud

We went out to dinner (unusual for us, but it was for Tim’s birthday) the other night, and I brought my camera along in that hope that we might see some lit up buildings. We did, but of course I neglected to bring a tripod (as always), so this series of shots isn’t ideal but hopefully will give a hint of Riyadh at night.

This is Burj Al Anoud and its sister building, which I have photographed in daylight. It was by far the most attractive to me of the lit-up buildings. There were some horrible lights on the street, but we finally managed to find a spot that provided an unobstructed view.

Another nice night shot! Low noise and pretty sharp for no tripod! V

The most lights I've seen on any building at night, great shot regardless of tripod or not! V

Such an unusually shaped building (but aren't they all, I am coming to believe). V
