Oman: Al Hamra village mosque in Ibadhi style with pillbox minaret

Oman, mud brick village of Al Hamra, largely abandoned. Though some structures still endure, no restoration seems to be attempted. An exception is the mosque with its vestigial "pillbox" minaret, carefully maintained. Minaret and doorframe are carefully and freshly painted in green, the Islamic holy color.
