Picnic

This was taken in the newer part of Diriyah, of a family enjoying a picnic in a municipal park.

I seem to have a fascination with photographing people picnicking here, maybe because they do it in some of the most unlikely places, but this spot was one that I would expect.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED

Picnics are such fun ! So good to see people enjoying being out of doors - the palm trees here are very different ! V

Exactly what I've been thinking while viewing your photos over the past few months... I'm truly amazed at the picnic locations, and the size of the families picnicking. It's as if they plop down wherever they find a flat spot of grass. :) V

a spot to savour, particularly with the peculiar palms...an open space is often the most gratifying..

These open spaces all seem a bit unfinished. There is work for landscapers, I think.
