| Before you get too excited, just know that I had a little fun with Photoshop on this one! |
Many thanks to Trina Epsom for allowing me to share her beautiful underwater shots in this post!
Is it near the obhur Creek......?!
ReplyDeleteHi Afsal_Alif - It's much further north of Obhur. We left out of Durrat Al Aroos and it's even further north than that.
DeleteOh how I miss Jeddah, the beach, the sea, diving..dolphins swimming next to the boat..sigh.
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky :)
Hope to visit soon..
And that last photo, I topped and was like WOW how did they form a heart like that and then I saw your comment :p but well done anyways!
Hi Layla - I thought about just letting people think the birds were in formation like that, but then I just couldn't do that! I saw a heart in the original photo right away, so I just tweaked it and moved a few around a bit.
DeleteI would love to visit one day since I have never been in this part of the world. It is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful group of pictures. All a joy to look at. I love the close up shots of the osprey.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog, Susie. Long time no see! Love the photos in this post. I would like to visit the Red Sea someday.
ReplyDeleteNice post, I like how you alternated the man made with the wild. My favorite is the separate gates that everybody ignores.
ReplyDeleteThese are such gorgeous photos, Susie. Thank you for sharing a slice of your life. I love your photo. You are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't stopped by in awhile so just got caught up on your latest postings. I find it very fascinating to read about life the is Saudi Arabia. So different from here in the USA. Thanks for your interesting narrative and photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely shots - so peaceful too, which is a bit of a surprise.
ReplyDeleteThe Red Sea has a lot more to offer! Nice photos of the underwater creatures. Such beauties!
ReplyDeleteHi Susie, congrats to all you for giving us a chance to get a bit more from Jeddah-KSA.
ReplyDeleteAs you are living there for sometime now, I would like to ask you, if possible, of course, some tips where to stay and how to beehive there as a business women. I am going to Jeddah in April and I am really confused with all the information I got from internet. Would you mind to give me some advice? Thanks!
Hi Yoga Model - Try emailing me any specific questions you have to: susieofarabia@gmail.com
DeleteHi Susie! I love these pictures, especially the dolphins.
ReplyDeletei hope someday i will go there
