Medina Series 2


This is a ceiling in a university.
Awesome.




Verses of the Qu'ran in incredible cursive calligraphy.


Top of the mosque.  We could go inside this one.


This is the door to the port-a-potty.  Turns out every door is this fantastic. (Kidding)


This is a design atop a lot of the doors.  The picture before shows it slightly.










We could only look in here.  This is the women's room.  The stained-glass contrasts brilliantly on the ground.


And this.  Is a fountain.


And a pillar.


And a window..


And a clock.


It's hard to tell, but this ceiling was about 5 feet deep.  The discoloration was unfortunate sunlight.  It's all hand-carved wood.


This is one of the many fountains all through the medina.  The water is free, and these still work.

This is a cat that was at the mosque.

I can has richewul purrification?
