I had a strange sensation upon my return; it felt like time had stood still here while I was gone...
It's still the same place of extremes... Above: Jeddah Fountain — boastfully the tallest fountain in the world; below: a public ablution station.
Saudi Arabia was revolutionized by the car, more than anything else – it is now an undeniably car-centric society... It's a rare sight to see one of Jeddah's major streets like this; usually it's overflowing with high-speed traffic and getting across is a real-life game of Frogger.
