Photos of the day

I have a couple more pictures of the city to share...


This was taken at dusk, from my balcony. Notice little green dots among the other city lights? Those are the minarets connected to the various mosques throughout the city. The sound of the call to prayer echoes through the city....a very beautiful and haunting sound.


The city is built on mountains, or jabels, as they call them. So, to walk down the jabel to the balat (city center) there are stairs to go down, or up if you so prefer, although these particular ones are extremely steep. :)
