The land of sands and camels

Dhahran is my home away from home. There is a new "grass" golf course in Dhahran (yes, in the middle of the desert). At the edge is this new lake I call "duck lake" because of the ducks. A refreshing site in this present uncertain times.

Duck Lake, Dhahran

Peaceful ducks

Oblivious to the tension, these ducks help us unwind for the day.

Hello Rob! Ang gaganda naman ng mga pictures mo! Thanks for posting the pictures of fresh dates. Masarap na panghimagas o meryenda yung minatamis na dates. I usually buy them here around October to December.
