'Tribal Motifs of the Hijaz'

We drove from Reykjavik to West Iceland yesterday and saw a lot of fascinating scenery, but I don’t have time to look through or process any images since we need to hit the road again soon. So am posting one of the Hijaz (Saudi Arabian) panels at the Grand Mosque in Muscat.
