    Saudi Arabia

    I've never been to a country with so much trash just lying around everywhere. All the same, it's full of some stunning sights, I just wish that I'd had a more flexible schedule to allow me to get off the beaten track.

    Here's a few I managed to grab.

    Masgid Al-Haram (Mecca)


    Destroying a Mountain (Mecca)


    Something Significant (Mecca)


    Pretty Boy (Mecca)


    A Place of Rest (Mecca)


    Road to Medina Pt I


    Road to Medina Pt II


    Bollywood (Medina)


    Truck (Jeddah)


    Sky High (Jeddah)

    Re: Saudi Arabia

    were you actually in Mecca? i thought it was a completely Muslim only city? thats me being very presumptuous that your not a muslim, which i guess you could be, lol..

    Those photos are stunning, i love the one of the kid, and the one of the petrol pump...

    Saudi is open to muslim and business visitors. The same applies to Mecca, although it's typically muslim visitors for obvious reasons....

    I have to agree, the Bollywood one has great composition I think.

    In the internets, no one can hear you sarcasm.

    Is the right answer...I think I fluffed the composition on that shot, but the colours were just fantastic. Glad you like it.
