Shoe box 1120

I've decided to retire my camera for the next couple of days so I can concentrate on other things. It'll be tough of course but to be fair, half way into my trip, I think I have all the pics that I would have wanted to have taken before the trip started. There's only a couple that I would love to take but it would be far too difficult.

There are couples every now and again sharing intimate moments such as holding hands, eating from the same carton and even sitting together in the mosque, talking and laughing. All very normal in most countries but somewhere as suffocating and repressive as Saudi Arabia, it's such a refreshing sight. I'm hoping to grab such shots but I doubt I will be able to.

Seeing these couples, makes you hope that things are changing but then again, let's not kid ourselves. A lot of these couples don't appear to be natives. There's a long way to go.
