Wishful thinking

I thought this was an interesting restaurant to find in the middle of the desert.

The dragonfly in my most recently posted images finally left our screen door. Maybe it got tired of a big lens pointed in its face all the time ;-).

A great catch! I know the expression ship of the desert, but that's for a camel. Maybe they are prepared for the rise of the sea level because of the warming climate.

a sort of beached ark motif here...perhaps they serve seafood..

It is rather whimsical to say the least, and quite appealing! V
