Jeddah Fishies Sculpture


Jeddah is called The City of Art because there are hundreds of public art sculptures about the landscape of the city.  No one really knows an exact count of how many sculptures there actually are in Jeddah.  Some have actually been destroyed by the elements, as they were made of inapprpriate materials for this harsh climate.  The extremem heat, the salty sea air, the lack of rain and the constant dust are brutal for many materials.  This sculpture of whimsical fish is made of a metal alloy that weathers the elements of Jeddah's climate quite well.  Sorry I don't have any information about the artist or the sculpture iteself.
