Is This For Real? Rain Paints Tree In The Saudi Desert!

These past two weeks we were blessed with unusual amounts of rainfall throughout the kingdom and boy were they a welcome break from the sweltering hot summer months. We love rain photos here, and a lot of them were being shared on social media. But there’s one that’s a notch above the rest. But is it Photoshop? Apparently, it’s not.

We did some digging and these photos that are being shared a lot now aren’t recent. The Al Jazeera Weather Group has shared these over six months ago.

They’re seeing parallels between it and the cardiovascular system. But it looks more like a tree, no?
