Mosque, Shia I think. You can almost see the heat, can't you? |
Definitely Shia. Doesn't it make you want to go to Qom? |
Better picture of it, but you can see all the debris that surrounds it |
This sandy lot is directly in front of the shia mosque |
Park along the creek |

Interesting on the way back, about 3 minutes later, the bird was still there |
This was in the coin and stamp wing of a musuem |

Can anyone read those characters for me? |

Market -- you'll just have to take my word for it that there are a few Gulf Arabs in Dubai |
