Not a spot for lingering

This structure is located in the parking lot of the mosque below. On Fridays, it’s the place where public executions by beheading take place in Jeddah. I have a feeling that this group of pilgrims didn’t know that.

Seems weird that there would be a very shiny white floor for beheadings.

I know beheadings take place, but it seems even more hard to believe in such a modern looking setting. V

Gives me the chills thinking about that ! The pilgrims look quite warm here... Excellent candid, Helen. V
