Minaret

I now know this to be a minaret, albeit a very contemporary one.

Another image posted today of the minaret of the grand mosque in Diriyah:

Attractive to me too. Great lines and shape and the small tower really standing out among them. Maybe a simulation watch tower of the pass.
Beautiful capture, Helen. BV

Could it be some kind of windtower!
