Hassan Pasha Mosque in Kos, seen from the Ancient Agora archaeological site.
The rich history of Kos has vividly left its mark on the architecture of the islands. That is the case with the mosques of Kos Town, strong reminders of the Ottoman rule on the island, that lasted for about four centuries, from 1523 to 1912. Today, two Ottoman mosques survive time in Kos Town and they can be seen in the centre of the city.
The Loggia Mosque also known as the Hassan Pasha Mosque, located at Hippocrates Plane Tree Square in Kos, was founded by the Turkish admiral Ghazi Hassan Pasha in 1786.
Ancient architectural elements from Roman remains have been incorporated into the fabric of the mosque and its minaret, and the mosque was possibly built on the location of a Byzantine temple of St George.
The three storey building is locked and unused and still bears the marks of wartime bombardment, especially in the tracery of the upper windows. The ground floor is taken up by several shops.
From the main gate, this mosque is to the left of the Taj Mahal. This is still a functioning mosque, so the Taj Mahal and its grounds are closed to visitors on Fridays for prayers. For symmetry, there is an identical building to the right of the mausoleum that once functioned as a library and study center. The Taj Mahal was built as a mausoleum by the 5th Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The Mughals were Islamic invaders from central Asia. At the height of their empire, they controlled almost all of the subcontinent.

Finally! Ive been able to upload a photo to flickr. There have been a few technical issues between macs and windows, and software, and... anyways. I've been forced away from photoshop and lightroom and only have access to mac photo editor - so the photos won't look as sharp as colourful or whatever, but hopefully will force me to focus a bit more on lines and composition.
So this photo is from a dirty Ayasofya window looking to the blue mosque, and the domes of ayasofya. I wouldn't have discovered it if i hadn't been on my tiptoes and holding my camera up above me to get this shot. I really like the lines moving from right to left, to right again and then the centre with the three towers in the distance.
The old mosque is in the center of the picture and the reconstructed citadel is just left of the mosque. This is the small country town of Divrigi, Turkey.
There is a raised second level down each side aisle made of beautiful carved cedar to allow for many more worshipers during peak attendance.

Cordoue ,harmonie réussie entre les peuples musulmans juifs et catholiques qui marquèrent la cité d une richesse architecturale incomparable ,cette superbe mosquée est sans conteste l emblème de cette splendeur passée
It is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates. The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by Persian, Mughal and Moorish mosque architecture, particularly the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan and the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco being direct influences. The dome layout and floorplan of the mosque was inspired by the Badshahi Mosque and the architecture was inspired by Persian, Mughal and Moorish design. Its archways are quintessentially Moorish and its minarets classically Arab. The design of the mosque can be best described as a fusion of Arab, Persian, Mughal and Moorish architecture.
