Blue Mosque in Istanbul - walked out the first morning I was there and could smell the roses in the early dawn
I knew before coming to Tlemcen that it would be one of the most lovely cities in Algeria. I was not mistaken! Here is the ancient mosque in the absolute center of Tlemcen at the city square. It felt really nice to be here and I would love to return, it was that great :) /A
PS This is the original shot, no cropping, nor adjustments :)

Your brain sense something different about this picture; Yes!! Sometimes, what you need is change only the perspective, to capture something you've seen hundred of times already! This triggers creativity!
Yesterday, I was on the Scott Kelby Worldwide PhotoWalk - Lahore at Delhi Gate, when we had to move towards the Wazir Khan Mosque inside the old bazar. There is this big waterpool for Wudhu (ablution, necessary washing before Muslim prayer). I captured the main door and its wavy reflections in the water. While post processing I simply flipped the picture.
So technical points are:
1. Aperture is f/8 as to achieve necessary clarity and focus
2. I wish I was more closer to the rule of thirds, I somehow missed it during the shot. The dividing line between the water and the subject should have been a little lower on the bottom line for rule of thirds
3. I have adjusted the exposure and contrast in Photoshop using levels and curves, and have added a graduated filter to enhance the water's exposure in Lightroom. Further more just sharpened the picture a little using Smart Sharp in Photoshop. (For those who are interested in Post Processing)

Hassan II Mosque,Casablanca,Morocco.
Built on reclaimed land, almost half of the surface of the mosque lies above sea water of the Atlantic.
This feature was a result of King Hassan II declaring: "I want to build this mosque on the water, because God's throne is on the water. Therefore, the faithful who go there to pray, to praise the Creator on firm soil, can contemplate God's sky and ocean."
A total of 105,000 worshippers can gather for prayer at the mosque simultaneously, 25,000 inside the mosque and another 80,000 on the mosque's ground outside.Its minaret is the world's tallest at 210 m (689 ft).It is the largest mosque in the country and the 7th largest mosque in the world.
The Badshahi Mosque (Urdu: بادشاھی مسجد) or the 'Emperor's Mosque' in Lahore 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 10,000 worshippers in its main prayer hall and a further 100,000 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.
Kipchak is a small village about 10 kilometers away from the Turkmen capital of Ashgabat. The village is known as the home village of the first President of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov.
Niyazov, while president, built the Kipchak Mosque and a mausoleum there for his family.
The main mosque in downtown Riyadh scanned from "Riyadh Album".
It was best avoided on Friday mornings.
From Wikipedia:
The Qolşärif mosque (pronounced [kɔlʃæˈriːf], also spelled Qol Sharif, Kol Sharif, Qol Sherif via Tatar: Колшәриф мәчете and Kul Sharif via Russian: мечеть Кул-Шариф) located in Kazan Kremlin was the largest mosque in Russia and, reputedly, in Europe outside Istanbul.[1] As of 2009, reputedly, it's the second largest mosque in Europe (without Turkey) after Grozny Central Dome Mosque.
Originally, the mosque was built in the Kazan Kremlin in the 16th century. It was named after Qolşärif who served there. Qolsharif died with his numerous students while defending Kazan from Russian forces in 1552. It is believed that the building featured minarets, both in the form of cupolas and tents. Its design was traditional for Volga Bulgaria, although elements of early Renaissance and Ottoman architecture could have been used as well. In 1552, during the storming of Kazan it was destroyed by Ivan The Terrible.

Just got back from Kazan this morning. Moscow greeted me with a gloomy weather, nothing compared to the fantastic weather in Kazan!
Warsaw mosque, about 15 minutes from downtown Warsaw, Poland.
The building looks more like a converted house with a nice decor to the front with two minarets. There is even a nice dome in the middle of the structure towards the back (not visible from this angle).
As my translator and I eventually found our way into the mosque we discovered on the upper floors children, half of whom had Polish features, half of whom had immigrant features, being taught the memorisation of the Quran.
