Riyadh, Day One

I think I need to explain this picture a bit…. For all the great photo opportunities in Riyadh, I got this. We’re in the midst of a blowing sand storm and, oddly, on and off rain. I was caught out in it today for a while and ended up sandy and muddy at the same time! The storm is supposed to blow out tonight and tomorrow is looking all clear.

As the sand is so fine, I didn’t dare pull out the camera. But I did find this shot in my room while working on my presentation for tomorrow. Not the picture I had in mind posting first from Saudi Arabia, but then I didn’t expect a sandstorm either.

Crisp, clear, and not a bit of sand
