Topping it off

Another “blue” building, nothing spectacular but with something of interest in the design.

I’m uploading the remaining pictures from last week’s outing fairly quickly as I’d like to move on to yesterday’s captures. I decided rather than take a complete break from this gallery right now, despite the overabundance of architectural shots, I’d compromise and continue with my most recent favorites and try to find some pictures other than buildings (!) as well.

I’m greatly enjoying these drives around Riyadh looking for innovative architecture, but I got in trouble today with the foot surgeon for overdoing it yesterday as I was navigating some pretty rough terrain (on crutches) to get pictures of the new financial center. In the end, it probably wasn’t worth the risk as that place is close to impossible to photograph well with all the barriers and fences in the way. He did think my broken toe was coming along nicely but won’t be removing the wire he inserted into it for six to eight weeks, so looks like I’ll be somewhat incapacitated for a while to come. So much for going back to Qatar any time soon ☹.

A bit of flair, posted earlier:

Its an interesting design and the reflections in the windows adds to the interest. V
