  3. You rock that suit, John! How on earth do you get photos of such broad areas with no people in them? Were the pics taken at some insanely early hour of the morning or something?

  4. Hey Kylie! Thanks, I think rock the suit, too! That shot was taken when the summer break was still on and the sea of women in black abeyas hadn't descended on the place. And we're not allowed to photograph the students, either. So, it was a fine opportunity to Shie the quite beautiful campus. ;-)
