Rendered by:
    Dick Ainsworth -- VR rendering with Adobe Lightroom to adjust
    exposure and extend dynamic range, stitching in PTGui, and final
    adjustments in Photoshop.      The exposure is ideal for the areas
    of interest, but lacking in highlights overall.  I used extreme
    measures to create enough highlight detail to complete the
    outlines of the buildings in direct sunlight. Concentrating on
    highlight recovery in Lightroom allowed these modifications
    without affecting the perfect light balance in the main portion of
    the image.

Description:
    Al-Balad is the 7th century center of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, under
    restoration.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Balad,_Jeddah
    This back street in Al-Balad is typical (in 2012). Note the
    elaborate carved wood structures over the windows that are used to
    capture the sea breezes and vent the heat from the housing,
    although now they often sprout window-style air conditioners.
