Very interesting, I see a heart in the razor wire.

A beautifully composed photo, Helen. Love the soft light on the mosque. I find it interesting though, to see the barbed wire. V

Nice light on the mosque and an interesting POV to capture the barbs of reality intruding into the picture.

A beautiful image and great social commentary. I agree with the theme of the other comments. Who is being protected from whom? V

Have to wonder...to keep people in or out.
Remembering your expectations of limited photo opportunities while in Saudi Arabia,you have certainly found glimpses of a lifestyle not often recognized to share...V

Well balanced image. You did a fantastic job shooting it. You have such a great eye!
I guess it's is the same thing all over the world (razor wire). V.

Nice perspective and architecture but the razor wire ruin the good mood a little! V
Karen Stuebing17-Nov-2013 22:12
The razor wire is kind of incongruent with the spiritual look of the mosque. Great eye to see this and super capture. V.
