In flight

I’m ending this very short gallery here for now, until we make another trip to Jeddah, preferably in our own car so I can take photographs when and where I want (just it’s an eight-hour drive with basically no place to stop along the way, so that’s still under discussion ;-)). Jeddah is really a treasure trove of public art, with at least 350 pieces scattered around the city, so I really only scratched the surface during our three days there.

Thanks for all the comments and votes! I’m pleased I could show this aspect – which was a total surprise to me -- of this beautiful Saudi Arabian city.

These are quite intriguing and something I would never have imagined being in SA for some reason. Excellent shot, as always. I am sure you will get back and have even more of this fascinating subject to show us. ~V~
