This allows me to use Hugo's image resizing to create img srcsets
where the client downloads an appropriate image depending on their
screen size.

I had to go back and find original photos for each of these posts
because Hugo was resizing my already-optimized versions and they
looked horrible. Unfortunately I couldn't find originals for these
posts:
  - aqaba-dirty-disappointing
  - contemporary-arab-design-jrf-showroom
  - eid-mubarak-neighborhood-dumpster
  - no-noise-near-noisy-mosque
  - red-orange-yellow-rice-bab-al-yemen

Hugo will fall back to looking in the static directory for these.

The best way to describe the Sheikh Zayed mosque would be "the pearl of Aqaba." There is a lot to love about this picturesque mosque by the Jordanian seaside, but its crown jewelto continue the analogyis the impeccable Arabic calligraphy inlaid in its façade. Sadly, Aqaba itself [isn't much to write home about]({{< ref "aqaba-dirty-disappointing.md" >}}).

Originally built in 1975, the mosque was refurbished in 2010 as part of a larger effort to revitalize the Red Sea port city and was modeled after the [Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque](http://www.szgmc.gov.ae/en/) in Abu Dhabi.
