New Building


This is the building you can see from the other side of the Plane Bridge that I had posted on Jan 9th. Kerri thought it's the air traffic controller building :-). It's just a building with shops on the ground floor and offices above.

    It looks like a bottle of perfume. I didn't realise how big the city was. Lovely photo.

    I thought it was a control tower too! Looks a really interesting building, many of the buildings you have shown are of an unusual design.

    That is a nice looking building. The windows look like they have a greenish glow like emerald. Is that a revolving restaurant at the top? :)

    Wow! That is some office building!

    Seems the top would make a great place for a restaurant. With such a view. :-)

    have had fun catching up, usually it is sad to see old buildings give way to modern ones, but I must say the architecture of these modern ones is amazing! And I adore the close up of one of the domes on the Kuwait tower, great pic! It is so funny, even the murals (like on the electric supply box room) are preoccupied with water towers, your photo for Fridays theme will be easy, just pick a water tower and you can't go wrong.hehe!

    I wonder if the top has a revolving restaurant because of the round shape. Very nice building. Kuwait seems to be an interesting place - bridges shaped like planes, buildings shaped like control towers, water dispensers shaped like this or that.... :)

    Talking about planes and control towers, I read that King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, is the largest airport by area, spread over 780 sq kilometers, an area larger than many cities and the neighboring country, Bahrain. The second largest is Denver International at 53 sq miles.

    Love this picture Web-OJ. That is a striking building and the design of the top floors is eye-catching.

    the building looks lonely, away from other tall buildings. no wonder people think it's an air traffic controller :)
