Tête-à-tête

On our last day in Riyadh, we also stopped by the very upscale Centria Mall, where I wanted to buy some Arabian fragrance – which I ended up really liking as it’s so exotic -- as well as some incense.

A scene I quite liked of these two women, taken outside a restaurant and surreptitiously for obvious reasons.

Shopping for fragrance and incense, posted earlier:

It's humorous and sad to see this women wearing the niqab and the western styled wedged shoe. BV

A fascinating capture of Saudi life. So foreign in many ways, but other ways a very universal scene. V

Wonderful candid! Despite the difference in their dress this is a scene that could take place anywhere. To me it demonstrates how we are all the same underneath it all. BV!

Infuriating. Great candid. Let's hope this will never happen in this candid.

their hands seem expressive in a way their faces cannot be with the restrictive clothing...likely friends, it is a wonder they can recognize each other..
