Work in progress

I see this building under construction every time we visit the hospital, and although photographing it while speeding by has proven difficult, this time I had my good camera with me and managed to get this. I find the lines simply fascinating and think it will be spectacular when completed. Every time we see it, more windows have been installed on the back side, so with that kind of progress, maybe it will be mainly finished before we leave next summer.

A blend of new and old, posted earlier:

looks as if one could be tossed from the top fairly efficiently....corporate honchos are often on a downward slope...good thing too...sharp capture of an exuberant design....V

This looks like it's going to be another stunning example of Saudi architecture. I like the lines of the building's frame with the cranes. V.

At first glance at the thumbnail I thought it was a helter skelter. Nicely captured Helen, bet it looks great when it's finished.
