Road Trip #1 – Second Stop – Ajman
October 6, 2008
This is the gate to the museum which, unfortunately, was closed for the holiday. You can see the security guard walking away after delivering the bad news that we could not come in.
This is public art sculpture on a grand scale in the center of the street across from the museum. There’s a bow of a boat (behind the palm tree) and arches.
This is the view just a quarter turn from the last shot. I took it for the variety of colors the buildings are painted. It’s rare for a building to be anything but sand colored.
Here is the only graffiti I’ve seen so far. It wasn’t very imaginative. Apparently, the Vinny gang reign here. The graffiti was in English and Arabic and appeared to be all intelligible words, unlike American graffiti that is usually carefully crafted code and symbols.
Here you can see the public art in the background and the Vinny gang’s artistic talent in the foreground.
