Al Yamamah Garden, then and now

Al Yamamah Garden, across the street from Tim’s old office, used to be green and beautiful with many fountains (see below picture). It looks like it has been decimated. I was shocked to see it.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

That's too bad. Hate to see the mature trees gone. Looks like they will be doing something different, here. V
