Jeddah is known for the sheer number of public artworks made available for all to see and enjoy. The city landscape is dotted with amazing sculptures created by world reknowned artists. I’ve actually shown this piece before, but it is one of my favorites, so I thought you wouldn’t mind me reposting it since it fits the City Daily Photo Theme of “BIG!” so well.

With views of Norway’s southern fjords and its westernmost archipelago, the twofold house in Bergen in among the best. The house faces south towards the ocean with a facade that bears a balcony cantilevered atop three steel poles. The house is clad in a darkly stained wood that contrasts with the naturally finished wood used between windows.
