Three Piece Reclining Figure No. 1 is the name of this work of art by Henry Moore, a British sculptor. It is housed in the open air sculpture park on the Middle Corniche right next to the Red Sea. Even though this work is Moore's interpretation of a reclining human form, it was acceptable because it doesn't realistically resemble the human form, which would be prohibited in Saudi Arabia for religious reasons. So Moore's abstract forms were deemed okay. CLICK HERE to see another photo of this sculpture taken from anothr angle.

Very unusual.
An interesting sculpture to punctuate your sky photo. Have a great weekend.
Interesting that being abstract enough allows it to be displayed. Enjoy your weekend!
Interesting sculpture, and backstory.
What an interesting sculpture!
Well, I have a confession...I couldn't pay as much attention to the sculpture as I did to your name appearing on the base of it! Made me smile.
