Oasis

This is just a street divider in downtown Riyadh, but a very surprising one. After all the scenes of sand and treeless landscape I’ve posted, I found this little oasis in the middle of the city quite refreshing. It wasn’t even in a ritzy neighborhood, just your average business district. The city could be quite pleasant with more of this.
