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.

Even if the number of mosques in Amman *didn't* outnumber churches by a factor of ten, the Saint Thaddeus Armenian Apostolic church would still stand out. The unique architecture caught my eye once and then I started seeing it every time I glanced at Jabal Al-Ashrafiyeh. After weeks of squinting and asking myself "*Is that an Armenian church?*" I finally went on an scavenger hunt and found it.
