Jubail, Saudi Arabia - I was looking for a place to kite landboard on the beach when I came across these pavilions facing out to sea. They had grass in front. The Saudis have picnics in them.

Looks as if there may have been plenty of wind! Interesting green cast to the overall image ...

@thib: Thank you so much, thib.
Wonderful, these shades of green. I would have imagined Saudi Arabia to be all brown and yellow sand desert. But lo and behold, there is green.

@givethemhell: Yes, the green is there because hardy grass has been planted and has a regular water supply. Thanks, Eva.
Great composition and the coloring is very surreal - well done!!

@Chris: Thank you, Chris.
Interesting, I have never thought about replacing the color of a washed out sky. I like the effect here and I may have to try it at some point! Lovely composition with the foreground interest of the grass.

@Tracey: Thank you, Tracey. I almost don't mind the bands in the sky caused by compression either.
Cool! Love the saturated greens! Makes it looks so homey... ^^

@Koushiro~光子郎: Many thanks, Koushiro.
It looks surnatural, something about the tint...I love the way the wind is carving the grass :)

@standley: Many thanks, Standley.
I wondered about the green sky, as it looks somewhat like a pre-hurricane color. I see you used a little editing, which does add to the surreal feel. I love the blowing grasses in the foreground.
3 May 2008 4:28pm
@Judy: The sky is added with a tint in Picasa2. Thank you, Judy.
Beautiful composition, Michael! Very well done.

Like the low angle of this shot. Beautiful landscape, very peaceful picture.

@John Maslowski: Thank you, John.
Nice one! With that green sky I'm wondering if a storm was in the making. In the mid-west US the sky sometimes turns green before tornados!

@martie: The green was a tint added to a washed out sky. No storm threatening. Thank you, Martie.
This is just gorgeous Michael. I could get lost in that field. I can almost hear the wind rippling through the grasses.

@Marion: Thank you, Marion. It is a lovely place.
The detail of the grass is gorgeous. Well done!
