Mountain Baboon

I certainly don’t have the patience for wildlife photography so I figured this pic (below) of a mountain baboon in Saudi Arabia was a gift (despite his obvious temperament).

I’ve just checked into my room having raced around and done the reconnaissance of Al Baha where I’ll be staying for the next three days. The dramatic terrain and cool weather make it an appealing holiday retreat from the heat in Riyad which, I’m told, is topping 50 degrees…..in the evening.
