    Nice composition. The starkness of the terrain has a breathtaking quality.

      Thanks, William - Much of the area around Jeddah reminds me of the Arizona Sonoran desert where I grew up, but Arizona's desert seems to have more vegetation.

      Hi Jerry - I have seen bales of hay around camel depots, and old big bathtubs that hold water. For the most part, I don't think animals can live off nature around Jeddah.
