sometimes we think that growing in age or hard life treatment turn us into useless creatures living in the margin...
only hope and true belief will let us shine again and sail in the sea of our volatile life.

I miss my city, miss its awesome sea, my love ones,... everything..
sometimes we need to sacrfise things to build our future, but never forget the times we spent with our people and the awesome places back home...

wishing my City Lattakia and Country Syria a soon relief and healings..

About the place:
The Khaled ibn al-Walid Mosque (Arabic: مسجد خالد ابن الوليد‎) is a mosque in Homs, Syria, located in a park along Hama Street in ash-Shuhada Square.[1] It is of recent construction compared to the city's major mosques, built by the Ottomans around 1908.[2] Other sources claim it was originally built by the Mamluk sultan Baibars in the late 13th century and that it was renovated by the Ottomans.[3]

The mosque has been called an "impressive example of Turkish architecture, with its large courtyard and walls decorated in alternating bands of black and white stone."[2] It has two tall white stone minarets that lends lightness to the imposing structure. The slender colonnade in black and white stone in horizontal rows is representative of traditional Islamic architecture in the Levant.[4] The interior of the structure is mostly composed of a large prayer hall and the central dome is supported by four massive columns. In the corner of the interior is the mausoleum of Muslim general Khaled ibn al-Walid who led the Muslim conquest of Syria and after which the mosque is named.[2]
