Just digging in some of my archives - here is a shot from 2002 - Mosque in Colcata/bengal/India. A beautiful place. I was fortunate to have a guide who managed to get me in without any time limit. my first Canon D60/6Mpix but already a real keeper. I still have it and sometimes shoot it.

New Mosque, Cambridge, 1 May 2019
This was my first visit to the new Cambridge Mosque which opened in April 2019.
Construction started in late 2016 and the builders are still finishing off various bits.
It is a fascinating building.
The prayer hall has the most amazing timber work as a “grove of trees” in the Garden of Paradise.
A rather erudite article says:
"Throughout the building the trees are realised as timber piers on an 8.1m grid that form the building’s defining visual, architectural and structural feature. Each pier comprises a number of timber columns that begin as perpendicular shafts before separating into individual ribs that open outwards like the branches of a tree. The branches then form an intricate ribbed vault across the ceiling before clustering downwards once again into adjacent piers to repeat the process over and over again. The highly complex geometry of the piers and ceiling is based on an intricate Islamic-inspired pattern... Yet at the same time the timber columns have an historic affinity with the fan vaults and lierne vaulting so synonymous with gothic religious architecture as in King’s College Chapel."

A few months ago I got a Nikon ES-1 slide copying adapter, a 62-52mm step-down ring, and a 20mm extension tube. I got them all separate because I didn't know they would all be necessary. I finally got them all together, with our slides, last night. I pointed it to my Lowel Ego light (against which I white palanced) and shot some of these miscellaneous slides we have. I liked this one. It looks like it was printed on Agfachrome slide stock but that's all I know.

The Suleymaniye Mosque or the Mosque of Suleiman is a mosque originally built after the Ottoman conquest of Rhodes in 1522 and reconstructed in 1808. It was named by the Sultan Suleiman to commemorate his conquest of Rhodes.

In 1808 the current building of mosque was built trough the reconstruction of this first mosque. Its plaster is rose-pink. The most of the mosque was reconstructed using materials of the buildings which existed at the same place in the earlier period. The pillars of the outer arcade belonged to the Christian church.

Bani is a small town on the way from Ouagadougou to Gorom-Gorom. It looks interesting, and has an interesting story. A series of seven fascinating mud-brick mosques are scattered around the town, several on hill tops, standing out against the sky as you approach. I was told the mosques are laid out in the same pattern as in Mecca, though I have not been able to confirm this.

The Süleymaniye Mosque was undergoing trestoration, so I couldonly see a small portion. I would like to come back here again, when the restoration is complete.
It was built on the order of Sultan Suleiman I (Suleiman the Magnificent) and was constructed by the great Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan. The construction work began in 1550 and the mosque was finished in 1557.

I believe this mosque was built in the early 20'th century. Even though there are several much older mosques in the city, this one, according to my guidebook written in 2001, had the largest congregation in Prishtina, though that might not be true any more what with all the fancy new Saudi mosques which have gone up in recent years and the restoration of older ones damaged during the 1990's terror.
