'Blue' Olaya series (12)

This is the last of the “Blue Olaya Series,” although I’m sure there are many more blue buildings on that very long road (in fact I saw some today). I’ll finish posting the remainder of the pictures from last weekend’s outing and a few from before, and then decide if I should take a break from Riyadh architecture for a while, not that I can do much else right now, but I can imagine all these buildings are getting a bit boring! But it’s a city of 5 million, and there are a lot of buildings ;-).

I love to go to the malls here at this time of year looking for “non-holiday” holiday shots, but I just think it would be too much trouble for Tim to have to get the wheelchair out of the car, get me set up in it, then push me all over the place. And then go through the whole thing again.

Another blue building in the series, posted earlier:

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/800s f/5.6 at 35.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Great shot Helen, quite like these buildings as they are not cramped together like many cities.
