Almost ready to go, been busy preparing as you can see.

Dates on first day

Havent had time to update or take pictures. This was taken on the first day of Ramadan, guess I was too busy eating to take more pictures...

Priorities

This shop would rather give priority to advertising death sticks rather than celebrate his magesty's birthday.

Haj Department Open Day

Held last Saturday 8th Sept. There were lots of visitors and it coincided with intending pilgrims picking up their passports.

The "rumi" or roman alphabet version

Visitors to the exhibitions.. interesting historical pictures..

Polarised

Full

Taken from my car at the post office after collecting my new circular polariser (using Queens english) I think it was too much polarising. Should have turned it back a bit.

Tried out the LCD TV for the stage, does that blog look familiar? This image was processed twice, didn't realise my new action for placing the watermark would resize the image.
