Can’t help a lot with that last post Suedehead but something stashed away in the little guy cells tells me Robert is somewhere near the mark.
I have attached a few photos taken just to the north of Baghdad. The first one was taken maybe 100km north. The reason I took it was that I had just gone through either a hail storm or snow shower. The desert was definitely white but by the time I had grabbed my camera it was nothing but rain and the desert had returned to its normal yuk colour. The other two photos show the entrance arches to the city. Straight on for the city or left for Basra.
