View of Badshahi Mosque, Pakistan's (and South Asia's) second biggest mosque. During peak prayer times, such as Eid, up to 100,000 people can pray together at once. In mid-summer, when the temperature soars between 40-50 deg C (100-120 deg F), the paved bricks are too hot to walk on, so visitors cross the courtyard on a narrow path of moistened mats.

The Badshahi Mosque is the second largest mosque in Pakistan. Photo taken on February 11, 2008 in Lahore, Pakistan.
"When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that's a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that's the thrill in fashion."
The Badshahi Mosque or (Urdu: بادشاہی مسجد) or in Persian Padshahi Masjed means the 'Royal Mosque' in Lahore, commissioned by the sixth Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1671 and completed in 1673, is the second largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fifth largest mosque in the world. Epitomising the beauty, passion and grandeur of the Mughal era, it is Lahore's most famous landmark and a major tourist attraction.
Capable of accommodating 55,000 worshippers in its main prayer hall and a further 95,000 in its courtyard and porticoes, it remained the largest mosque in the world from 1673 to 1986 (a period of 313 years), when overtaken in size by the completion of the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. Today, it remains the second largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fifth largest mosque in the world after the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) of Mecca, the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) in Medina, the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca and the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad.[citation needed]
To appreciate its large size, the four minarets of the Badshahi Mosque are 13.9 ft (4.2 m) taller than those of the Taj Mahal and the main platform of the Taj Mahal can fit inside the 278,784 sq ft (25,899.9 m2) courtyard of the Badshahi Mosque, which is the largest mosque courtyard in the world.
In 1993, the Government of Pakistan recommended the inclusion of the Badshahi Mosque as a World Heritage Site in UNESCO's World Heritage List, where it has been included in Pakistan's Tentative List for possible nomination to the World Heritage List by UNESCO.

The sun set on the Sikh rule, the samadhi of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh stands mute testimony to all the treachery that led to downfall.The Samadhi of Ranjit Singh is the mausoleum of the Sikh ruler Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Located in Lahore, Pakistan, near the Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque, the mausoleum was begun by his son Kharak Singh on the spot where he was cremated, and was completed by Dalip Singh in 1848. The tomb is a splendid example of Sikh architecture, with gilded fluted domes and cupolas and an ornate balustrade round the top. Ranjit Singh's ashes are contained in a marble urn in the shape of a lotus, sheltered under a marble pavilion inlaid with pietra dura, in the centre of the tomb. Other tiny urns contain the ashes of his four wives and seven concubines who threw themselves on his funeral pyre. These urns were removed from the marble pavilion and were replaced by a simple slab around 1999. This desecration of the mausoleum was part of the preparations for the Khalsa Tricentenary and the visit of Sikh dignitaries from India.The Samadhi was damaged by the earthquake in October 2005.
Two small monuments to the west of the main mausoleum commemorate Ranjit Singh's son Kharak Singh and grandson Nau Nihal Singh, and their wives.
An outtake of this shot (click), this photo stayed buried in my archives for four years. I don't know what I was thinking picking the landscape orientation over this -- look at all the detail I cut out!

Technical details:
This shot is taken from a balcony with my Circular fisheye lens. It was not possible to get arch in full without a lens wider like that. I am standing few steps away from arch. It’s a circular fisheys so I managed to get arch within circle.
For processing....One layer mask to add impact to very dull sky.Background layer was enhanced using levels.
Your comment/critics are welcome because I am just fiddling with this new thing PROCESSING... :)

The Samadhi of Ranjit Singh is the mausoleum of the Sikh ruler Maharaja Ranjit Singh. It is located near the Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan. Construction was started by his son, Kharak Singh on the spot where he was cremated, and was completed by his youngest son, Duleep Singh in 1848.
Entering Lahore from the Grand Trunk (GT) Road from the north, two landmarks of Lahore come to the view - the Minar-e-Pakistan and the grand Badshahi Mosque, displaying their splendours and majestic architecture to the on lookers. It is one of the city's best known landmarks, and a major tourist attraction, and a reminder of the beauty and grandeur of the Mughal era architecture.
This grand mosque with the biggest courtyard of any mosque around the world was built by the Mogul emperor Aurangzeb in the 17th century (1674 to be exact). Its construction was completed in a record time of two and a half years. Aurangzeb built the mosque which is bigger than the Friday Mosque in New Delhi, built by his father Shah Jehan. The mosque is entirely made of marble and red stand stone. Its main entrance measures 21.33 meters in length and a courtyard of 161.5 x 160.6 meters. The marble domes cover seven prayer chambers, surrounded by four minarets at the four corners of the mosque, each with an outer circumference of 20 meters, soaring up to 54 meters. The walls and roofs of the prayer halls have tastefully decorated with Islamic calligraphy, traditional Persian tile sheathing and fresco. The use of stone and marble for exteriors and interiors lends the mosque a solid monumentality.

"But it also remains a moment of glad necessity, for who can conjure up a vision of Lahore without remembering the tiny droplet of beauty that is Iqbal's tomb, resting in the shade of Badhshai Mosque?. He deserves that spot." - Sara Suleri Goodyear (Lahore Remembered)
