When you look at all those muslims lined up in makkah, you just think if there were that many muslims around at the time of the prophet, he would have conquered the world ages ago, he would have fended off any kind of invasion in muslim lands

Wow, amazing pictures. I like the above picture taken on Jabl-e-noor of the city of Makkah. The modern developments and lighting somehow disguises the desert land at night.. but by day the desert feels so real, you can almost comprehend that your in a place witnessed by the prophets in their daily lives and really appreciate the simplicity. I loved the mountains of Makkah <3 so breathtaking being up there. I miss tawaf, such a beautiful form of worship.

Those are construction cranes working on the extension of the Haram.
 
Regarding the picture of the Suadis on the train, the caption from the website is: "Saudi Arabian men ride on the newly-opened Holy Sites metro light rail in Mecca on November 2, 2010. The Chinese-built monorail project, will link Mecca with the holy sites of Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah, and will operate for the first time during the Hajj this month at 35 percent capacity to ferry Saudi nationals who will take part in the upcoming annual Muslim pilgrimage."

This is so untrue! The rest of the world who have not been on the trains think only Saudis were given the facility. Actucally, all Saudi RESIDENTS were given the faciltiy as well, those coming on Hajj from other GCC countries. I was on the train, and I'm no Saudi.
