Travel The World

One more from the desert!

I took this picture about five years ago in Saudi Arabia.  Although it's a very interesting one, I feel guilty in posting it because of the plight of the young jockeys used to race the camels.  They are brought into the country through various methods and then exposed to the dangers of the sport.  I think there is more awareness today of the problem and steps are being taken to eradicate it.

These two showed up on the window sill outside my office and refused to fly away.  I wonder if they were waiting for me to die or something!

Some more pictures from the West Bank circa 1989.  The one at the top includes some of the members of the family I stayed with.  The one in the middle displays the Palestinian flag painted on a rock.  This was quite risky as any representation of the flag was/is illegal.  The final figure shows a gravel road in the small village I spent four days in.  This was a unique experience that I'm glad I had.

Sailing along the river near the bridge took in some beautiful scenery.
