From a well known British stone monument, Stonehenge uploaded yesterday, to a lesser known Saudi earthwork. Affectionately known as “Edge of the World”, this collosal natural stone monument stands proud along the Tuwaiq Escarpment in the desert north of Riyadh, providing breathtaking views across the old Darb al Hijaz. Darb, meaning ‘way’ was a route used for centuries by travellers moving east-west across Arabia and many of the camel trails can still be seen today.

Thrilled at being asked to take some pictures for my friends who are expecting their fist child, I jumped at the chance and suggested something a little different to the shoot they may have been thinking of having at home… / Shot out in the desert, west of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on an overcast and windy day… work in post processing, sat in my warm house on an even more overcast and windy day… winters here! / Read my journal for a description of the day… crowds and all!

In this abstract, I have attempted to capture the essence of an Arabic street market scene. / I worked quickly and used instinct and subconscious, rather than technical composition skill. I have used glued painted paper shapes, then painted an impressionist watercolour scene around the collage. 16th Sept 2008 update. / I’m currently working on a larger, watercolour-only, version of this 14”x10”. / less abstract and more real, but with impressionistic aspects.

Having decided what shape his future will take, the Fool strides forward. But he is impatient to make his future a full-grown reality. This is when he comes upon the Empress. Hair gold as wheat, a crown of stars, a white gown dotted with pomegranates. She rests back on her throne surrounded by an abundance of grain and a lush garden. It is possible that she is pregnant. Kneeling, the Fool relates to her his story. And she, in turn, smiles a motherly smile and gently gives him this advice: “Like newly planted grain or a child in the womb, a new life, a new love, a new creation is fragile. It requires fertile soil, patience and nurturing, it needs love and attention. Only this will bring it to fruition.” Understanding at last that his future will take time to build and create, the Fool thanks the Empress and continues on his way. Pregnant. Well, not in the Rider-Waite deck she isn’t. But she is in early decks, and it is an apt symbol for this card. The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / To read more go to this site*

Sally Omar Took few hours to come up with a very moving poem … Sally you write in words what i see in images … love your work my friend. / —-—-—-—-—-- / ALONE A camel in the desert all Alone / Trudging ahead on his own / Afraid to be alone just as you and I / Being alone his soul will die / Searching around for a friendly face / Lost in such a lonesome place / There is no one anywhere in sight / The road ahead is so dull, not bright / A camel being so much like we / All alone losing his identity / Keeps fighting the urge to sit down / Just hoping someone’s around / So we must understand his plight / Should he go left or should he go right / His heart now carrying a heavy load / Walking ahead on this lonesome road / Just like the camel, you and me / Searching ahead trying to see / If there is another soul out there / That will help set the soul free / ALONE.
