[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, is an Islamic cultural centre, there is a university and many Muslim mosques. It has been designated by UNESCO as "Arab Cultural Capital for 2004 and the old city as a world heritage site since 1986.
In August the weather is often humid rain may be abundant and transform this road, which I do not know the name, which borrows the bed of an ancient watercourse, a torrent.

Compliments, Chris

Awesome photo, very well captured.

Interesting to see water in Sanaa, the photo has a slight artificial quality , but quite good overall.
