Sky Towers

Another drive-by shot with a building that appeared out of nowhere. We have been down this road many times, and I must have seen it before, but I sure don’t recall it. I would have remembered all that green!

I will catch up on Pbase as I can. Needless to say my daily routine has changed dramatically with this inconvenient broken toe! A bit of information for those who think it's always hot in Saudi Arabia: It's pouring rain, expected for the entire week, with severe flooding predicted. Temperature must be in the 50s, although I can't get out to the porch to see what it actually is. Who ever would have thought!

Shot on the fly, posted earlier:

a beautiful building with fine reflections,
I hope your toe does not make you suffer too much.

It is a bit vegan looking. I hope the toe mends soon.

Superb green reflections on the left creating a kind of trompe-l'oeil ! V
Bon courage ! Hope you will feel better very soon.
