Lights out on the DQ

Back to Saudi Arabia for a while. I took this for Martin Lamoon, who wanted to see this wall in front of a prince’s house at night (see below picture). It was just down the street from our own house, but due to the royal occupant, I had to be a bit careful when trying to photograph it. I waited until two days before we left the country to take it, just in case ;-).

This might finally finish off my Diplomatic Quarter gallery, but one never knows since I keep finding pictures I never used in my archives.

Fit for a prince, posted a long time ago:

An excellent night photo with great repeating elements. It does look secure. ~BV~

It does look good at night, a fine capture Helen. Almost like reflections from water V
