Happy Snaps Take one.

Here's a few photos of the landscape between Ras Tanura and Dhahran. So this is pretty much what Anthony sees every morning on the way to work. This photo is of the typical Saudi country landscape. (a big contrast from my photos of the camp eh!)



This one's of the random shubbery you get here. I don't know if I've said it already, but the topiary is phenomenal. These bushes are a good ten or so kms into the desert and they're everywhere, All perfectly manicured. An indication of the massive number of Eastern expats employed here for cheap wages. All the roads are bordered by hedges if there isn't any nifty shub workery and that implressive in itself given that all this has to be irrigated multiple times a day.



This is a small snapshot of downtown Qatif, about 15 minutes from Ras Tanura. Or at least a bit of it. Pretty characteristic of the smaller towns round here.



This is a pretty typical Saudi Arabian house. They're huge and while the general idea's the same the architectual styles differ quite a bit.
