A Saudi windmill?

Shot from the car, and one of those hard-to-photograph buildings (which seem to be what I’m posting now – it’s just not always possible to get off the road to take a picture for a variety of reasons, one of them being there isn’t any easy way to). We always pass this bakery on the freeway but have never stopped. I recently heard it was excellent, though, so we’ll have to visit one day, when maybe I can get a picture without the railing in the way ;-).

What a great modernist interpretation of what looks like a classic Dutch windmill. Nice shot - especially from a moving car. ~V~

Maybe this is used to grind the flour to bake the goodies :0) V

Such an interesting building in Saudi. I wonder if some one had been to Holland? It is clever since it is a bakery. I hope that you get the chance for a close look. Excellent image. V.

Very futuristic looking design and it does look like some kind of windmill but I wonder what those tiny blades could do. Fantastic, detailed capture. V.
