JEDDAH MOSQUE VARIATIONS
Saudi Arabia is abundant with mosques every few blocks or so. Along the freeways, places to pray are provided for travelers, even in the middle of nowhere. Some mosques are enormous and stately, while others are tiny and old and look like they could use some TLC.

Jeddah Sky Banners and Pretty Minaret
These shiny green and gold banners were up for the recent Saudi National Day. They caught the sunlight and flashed like crazy in the breeze.
I love the dome and minaret of the mosque below, but unfortunately the empty lot next door is littered with trash - a common thing here in Saudi. Sometimes it feels like the problem is getting better but there are still many pockets around the city of piles of rubble and unsightly garbage like this.
