|
| An average sort of street
scene on the edge of the city center |
|
|
|
|
| A busy intersection in
downtown. |
|
|
|
|
| After an infrequent rain
it is time for car & bike washing wherever water collects - a common
scene after rain. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| One of the many gas
stations in Riyadh. |
|
|
|
|
| Not sure what piece of
heavy equipment is here being used..? |
|
|
|
|
| Behind the gas station a
crowd gathers. With a close look it appears someone is swinging around high
on something...? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Another common site
within the city, as well as the countryside, was foraging sheep & goats. |
|
|
|
|
| Out from the center of
the city. |
|
|
|
|
| Two friends pose with
colorful flowers (such colorful landscaping was not common). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Kids & bicycles go
together in any country. |
|
|
|
|
| Just like the Bedu
trucks, bikes were often dressed up with bright colored tape & other
adornment. |
|
|
|
|
| The local gas station
where we usually filled up (Mission Jeep here). "...pumps run
by Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO)(AA LOGO). The center dispensor is
kerosene the outer are leaded high grade gas."* |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A large group of females
(possibly from a school) photographed from a moving car at a distance. |
|
|
|
|
| Further out on the edge
of the city. |
|
|
|
|
| The first of the group of
slides labeled "Wadi with Dino, Feb. '61." Moon over Bedouin tents
are prominent in this wadi shot. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Looking somewhat like the
area around the Duriyah ruins, someone (Dino?) & Ed Ouelette are seen
here. |
|
|
|
|
| Even the Chevy is
unfamiliar in this shot of Ed getting ready to take a picture of Scotty
& ?? |
|
|
|
|
| Scotty & 3 unknown
men are seen in this shot of several chicken coups. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Scotty on far left with 2
unknowns in an area of irrigation ditches. |
|
|
|
|
| This must have been a
tour to some agricultural project that has faded too far in to lost
memories. |
|
|
|
|
| A view from the Bill
& Keith's villa balcony, the moon is seen over the dining/support villa. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A northerly night view
towards the airport showing the Airport Ave. street lights that functioned
as crude landing lights for the highly experienced TWA contract pilots. |
|
|
|
|
| A February night sky over
the Riyadh Airport, as seen from Keith & Bill's balcony. |
|
|
|
|
| Inside the villa, many of
the walls were decorated with the traditional tapestries. |
