With 95% of the population of Azerbaijan being Muslim I don’t suppose this should be too much of a surprise. This photo was taken from around the back of the mosque. It was busy with a steady stream of visitors including one bloke from the minibus I travelled upon.
Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco.
The Hassan II Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الحسن الثاني, French: Grande Mosquée Hassan II) is a mosque in Casablanca, Morocco. It is the second largest functioning mosque in Africa and is the 7th largest in the world. Its minaret is the world's second tallest minaret at 210 metres (689 ft). Completed in 1993, it was designed by Michel Pinseau under the guidance of King Hassan II and built by Moroccan artisans from all over the kingdom. The minaret is 60 stories high topped by a laser, the light from which is directed towards Mecca.

La Mosquée de Paris, construite entre 1922 et 1926, est située dans le Quartier latin, à deux pas du Museum d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris. De style hispano-mauresque, elle est dominée par son minaret de 33 mètres de hauteur. Inspiré de l’Alhambra de Grenade, le patio est entouré d’arcades sculptées. La salle des prières est une étape obligatoire de la visite pour sa décoration et ses magnifiques tapis. La Mosquée de Paris est aussi un lieu de détente avec son hammam où sont passés BOURVIL et DE FUNÈS dans “La Grande Vadrouille”, son restaurant, où déjeunaient BIRKIN et GAINSBOURG dans le film “Slogan”, sa cour ombragée où les habitants du quartier ont l'habitude de venir goûter un thé à la menthe ou un moment de quiétude.

Parts of these villages that were above the flooding line are now accessible by boat and have become tourist attractions. When a mosque in Eski Halfeti was submerged, its minaret remained standing above the water line.

An Ultra-Wide-Angle Capture of the Nizamiya Turkish Mosque in Midrand, Greater Johannesburg, South Africa. This gives something of a sense of the sheer vastness and remarkable symmetry of the mosque interior. It can take up to 6000 worshoppers - as many folk as the quorum in the classical Athenian Ecclesia required. I have used a 'cold-tone' desaturation technique to emphasize the architectural geometry and extraordinary symmetry of the interior.

A perspective work from Haliç/ Golden Horn Metro Station Bridge. They look so diffrent despite they are both mosques, Hagia Sophia is like the oldest sister of the family who is adopted at first so she can't really fit in other siblings but all the other siblings adore her but she doesn't like them back. New Mosque is like the middle child to me. It is the first mosque when you enter the historic peninsula yet many people ignore it and move on to see "real" place. It is sad. It's like he is jelous of all the fame and attention Hagia Sophia gets. He prepares revenge plans yet no one cares.
