King Fahd International Stadium (1)

A distant view of the stadium, surrounded by desert. The only other straight shot of it was through a fence and over a parking lot, and Tim thought this was better, so here it is. Apparently it is called the “The Pearl of Stadiums” or just “The Pearl” in Arabic and is used mainly for football matches.

It's almost like a modern version of a circle of bedouin tents!

Like a tale in the sea of sand and sure is a pearl in this vast desert area. Superb tone in this tight composition, Helen. BV
