Brightening up the city

I always like to see flags flying here as they really brighten up the city. They’re very big on doing it, too, for every head of state who visits and important conference that takes place in Riyadh. These look like GCC member flags.

It does add nice color to the grays and tans.

The flags add a festive atmosphere for those stuck in traffic. V
