I‘m going to interrupt my Middle East photo tour for something a bit different this week. Next week I’ll resume our visit earlier this year to two destinations within the United Arab Emirates. So, if you’re looking forward to some views of Dubai and a video starring the world’s tallest building, do not despair. As for this week, the theme is Dramatic Skies, Automobiles, Desert Flowers, and a Mystery Destination. See if you can figure out that destination from the photographs and clues today, Wednesday, and Friday, and leave a comment if you have a guess. On Saturday I will reveal the answer. In the meantime, let’s start with a desert rainbow as seen from my backyard:
Now it’s on to an automobile. Here’s an original Fiat 500 rambling along the Amalfi Coast on the way to Positano:
Some El Paso desert color:
A Ferrari Testarossa in Fiat red:
Now for an additional photo of this week’s Mystery Destination. But first today’s clues, which are clue quotes from a pivotal episode:
- Character One’s observation: “Pretty spot. Mixed architecture. Italianate.”
- Character Two’s reply: “I’d like a fortnight’s leave there.”
Слава Україні! (Slava Ukraini!)
