The reflected mosque

The mosque that is reflected in the image below. Of course there are mosques everywhere here, and they're an integral part of the city's architecture, but this is the only one I’ve seen on King Fahd Road, the main boulevard downtown and the home of so much of the showy architecture in Riyadh. This mosque is quite different in style to any others I’ve seen in the city.

Reflections in the construction, posted earlier:

it seems modest yet cleanly styled..certainly it is built on quite a different scale to its neighbour..

The rounded domes of the mosque make a nice change from the sharp edges of most of the futuristic architecture

Nice contrast next to the tall modern building. Do you know what that small structure is that is in front of the mosque? Looks odd sitting there. V
