Just over 36 hours ago I made the article Climbing up Jabal Nur in the dark showing scenes at night. Now I'm going to show pictures taken in daylight.
And so me and wife reached the summit of Jabal Nur and then went down a bit to get to the cave of Hira'. Early Wednesday morning 10th April 2013, after sleeping besides the cave for a few hours, I climbed up.
I started savouring the views.
As usual I took in a number of angles going anti-clockwise...
OK. The previous pictures were taken before 6 am local time. About 25 minutes later I went up again. The stones to right of the person standing in green shirt is right above the Hira'. You could see people waiting to get inside.
At this time you could see yellow-golden tinge in the background. This is because the sun was just rising.
See the tall building in the background?
That's the 650-metre high or so Mecca clock tower which also marks the Mecca city centre.
Ah. Rays from the rising sun.
Lovely...
