Intriguing windows

I have always liked the many styles of windows at Al-Kindi Plaza. This was taken right after we arrived in Saudi Arabia, and I see I didn’t even have an abaya on. It’s true that the religious police don’t come onto the DQ and theoretically you can wear what you want, but pretty much all our neighbors are Saudi with women who are covered, and there are a huge number of workmen around, so I’ve decided it’s just easier to avoid attention by wearing an abaya but no headscarf on the DQ.

You are well positioned, Helen. Strong, clear reflection gives the appearance that you are inside looking out. Great image! V.
