geogphotos Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) I uploaded three of this mosque inside a fort but apart from knowing it was Saudi Arabia didn't know anything else. The others are will be viewable through the blue link next update. No clues as yet. Edited May 22, 2020 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth 😁 🍎🥑🍉 No beer for this one! Well done! It took me quite a while to find this. Have not added the full caption yet - uploaded before finding the answer. There are three other historic pics ( system now updated) Two big ones - below. Then there is a small desert adobe house and compound which I assume is not famous. Just noticed your location! Do you have any idea about that prominent desert outcrop? Edited May 23, 2020 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saudi desert is littered with those outcrops. Do you know for sure that this one’s in Eastern Province? BTW suggest you add Dhahran as a spelling.

Gareth That is where the helicopter pilot was based so assume so - never mind if the outcrop is nothing special. These were all date May 1979. Dhahran as a tag for all of these? I've been checking the two forts and am fairly sure that I have them now from the description on the UNESCO site Very confusing with all the alternative spellings.

Re the spelling ‘Dhahran’, I meant just where you’ve got ‘Dharhan’ in your captions. ‘Dhahran’ is the commonest spelling, I think. Confusing indeed. Personal names are the trickiest - especially Mohammed, which can be spelt in many ways. Maybe dozens. Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geogphotos Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) This one is very easy 'cos it has its name on the side! Patricia Was used on the Southampton to Bilbao crossing for many years. From the overcast sky I'm guessing that this is Southampton rather than Bilbao. The start of their trip and heading to the ferry! Edited May 23, 2020 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
