The black and white photo is rectangular in shape. A little to the right of the center of the photograph is a large black square structure, the Kaaba, and in front of that is a smaller light colored building. Around the middle of the photo are the columns of the Great Mosque. Within the columns is the interior of the Great Mosque and it is completely flooded with about 2 feet of water. Scattered throughout the interior are many men standing around, mostly in large groups. In the background of the photo are the tall buildings, some look to be about 10 floors high, outside the Great Mosque.
