Roof of Water Reservoir, Mina

One of the earliest strange but beautiful object which I saw in Google Earth was the roof of Water Reservoir at Mina near holy city of Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

The water reservoir caters to about 2 millions pilgrims who gather every year at Mina, during Hajj and it is covered by this huge reinforced concrete shell roof which has a diameter of 365 metres. It is one the largest cable-stayed concrete shell roofs in the world.
