The Muhammad Ali Mosque, also known as the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, is a mosque located in the Citadel of Cairo, Egypt. It was commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha and built between 1832 and 1857. Overlooking the city, it is one of the most visible mosques and landmarks in the skyline of Cairo. Unlike the traditional Cairene architecture that preceded it, the mosque was built in an entirely Ottoman and European-influenced style, further setting it apart from other monuments. It is sometimes called the Alabaster Mosque due to the prominent use of alabaster as a covering for its walls.

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.

Turkish Mosque built during the Ottoman occupation in the grounds of the medieval fortress
The middle of the 14th century saw the Mediterranean islands being harassed by pirates. To protect themselves the people of Skiathos relocated from the area of Skiathos Town to the North of the island. Kastro, the Greek word for castle, gave the people of Skiathos a fantastic defensive advantage as it is high above sea level and difficult to access. Kastro remained the capital city of Skiathos until the 1830’s.

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.
