For those who are interested, an extract from this afternoon's Journal entry.
"At 5 o'clock we were back on the road to Sousousvlei for the afternoon drive, along the way we saw Oryx and Ostriches. We stopped at dune number 45, I gave Ruby my Panasonic camera and she went off to take photos of wild flowers. I took close up shots of the sand dune and its environment.
Next we drove to dune number 47; this was a stunning landscape, especially in the afternoon light. We watched the sun set at dune 47, Ruby took photos of the sunset with one of my cameras, while I used another. Neither of us was interested in sharing drinks and nibbles, we were civil but an impossible gulf had opened between us.
I asked about taking a hot air balloon or a sightseeing flight the next morning. Ruby said I'd never get into the balloon basket and besides the next morning would be windy and unsuitable for ballooning. She was no longer interested in anything I wanted if I wasn’t interested in what she wanted me to do. She had also lost sight of the fact I was the client and she the guide. Her message was loud and clear.
Back at the camp we had Orix kebabs for dinner, tough as old leather and not at all tasty."

Previously unpublished shot from May 2017. One from the "not my best but I'll keep it anyway" collection that I never thought I would post here to Flickr but, thanks to Covid, I find myself having to dig deep. Hope you enjoy!
Even the deer enjoy the view at Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park. It was probable watching the tourist down below. DSC_5040-HDR-1-CR

The impression of this shot is misleading... even off season!
Bin Zaid
(known previously as Fanar or Qatar Islamic Culture Center and Spiral Mosque) is a cultural organization in Doha, the capital of Qatar. It is a prominent landmark in the city.
The center's most distinguished feature is its mosque, which has a unique minaret design inspired by the 9th-century Great Mosque of Samarra. It remains the tallest mosque in Qatar.
In the foreground is Souq Waqif, a market in the center of Doha. It sells traditional clothing, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. The market also houses restaurants and hookah bars. The market building, built in the mid-20th century, is designed in the traditional Qatari architectural style and was renovated in 2008.
Souq Waqif originally served as a place for trade between Bedouins and locals, primarily goods for livestock. However, the market fell into disrepair in the 1990s, and in 2003, much of it was destroyed by fire. This prompted a government restoration program to preserve the market’s architectural and historical identity. Buildings dating from the 1950s were demolished, and older structures were renovated.
