Something for everybody

The Qassim pavilion had refreshments for visitors, with women on one side of the room and men on the other, of course. The light from the setting sun was downright brilliant in there!

Very interesting image Helen, as we see it from a different angle I am glad that the young girls still enjoy a moment,before they are packed BV

A wonderful shot of a world that isn't ours. V

Fascinating hand actions ! How does one drink and eat with those head scarves and sun glasses look awkward ??? Interesting shot V

I love the hats on the little girls, but I agree with others, that the thought of eating with covered face seems challenging at best. V

It looks like eating would be a constant hassle for all but the little ones!

It's a fascinating image Helen but it's not my kind of fashion! V

Terrific capture of the group. I especially like the young ones and their expressions (which we can see) in contrast to their elders. V

What a great capture. Another fascinating glimpse into Saudi culture. The girls' outfits are pretty. V

Amazing you could take these shots here. But glad you did! The culture is unique even in this part of the world. The sunglasses and finely dressed girls are so interesting. V

intriguing scene...must be problematic to take refreshments with the face covered..

And you were in the middle? I don't know what to think of those dark clothed women.

Beautiful light and details in this fantastic image. V
