JEDDAH'S BLUE GLASS ARCHITECTURE

There are modern blue glass buildings all over Jeddah. 

Today'ss post showcases just a few.

 

SLATED FOR DEMOLITION

Many slum areas of Jeddah have already been demolished and many more are scheduled to be torn down in the near future. The buildings are unsightly, in disrepair, and house mostly lower paid foreign workers. 

Despite the mess, I still manage to find beauty in these buildings

 

VARIOUS ARCHITECTURE IN JEDDAH

I call this "Royalty Loyalty" - many businesses declare their loyalty to the kingdom in this manner

Rather plain architecturally, but the blue design packs a punch

Common business architectural design in Jeddah for buildings

 

TODAY'S RANDOM PICS

I asked but didn't find out what this lifesize plastic cannon was doing in this store during Ramadan. Several employees couldn't even tell me.

My husband wanted watermelon so we pulled over when we saw this truckbed full of them. He picked one out but the vendor never showed up, so we just left without a watermelon.

I liked the architectural detail of this building. It looks rather European to me.
