'The Tastes of Great Britain'

Even in Saudi Arabia! Taken in the window of a Marks & Spencer. Not too sure how much British "drink" they bring here, though.

Today was probably the last time we’ll visit a shopping mall here because our car will be shipped to Washington next week, and it will be harder to get around, although we can still use the motor pool for necessary things. I don’t think I would be able to convince one of the drivers to cruise neighborhoods so I can take surreptitious pictures of people’s houses and gates, though, so I’d say my main picture-taking days in Saudi Arabia are over, sadly (plus I have to ship my D810 because it will be too heavy to carry along with everything else I need to bring with me).

I shall certainly miss your well-observed images and interesting commentary when you leave Saudi Arabia, Helen, which have always been quite fascinating. V.

I will miss your photos of Riyadh. Great capture of this interesting display. Excellent color. I think they are missing the ales. V

It must be with mixed feelings that you contemplate your next move. Fortunately, you have lots of images with which to relive your stay. While you're parted from your 810 you may discover new ways to use your phone camera!
