Big new mosque off Cowley Road in Oxford. I like the chimney/smoke effect from the lucky position of the cloud behind the minaret.
Whereas in Britain we normally only see one species of swallow - the Barn swallow - Ethiopia has 8 species.
Not with the typical dome roof. But an abstraction of the hands in the dua position.

Casablanca, Hasan II Mosque, a place of many superlatives. Seeing the size of this place, I consider myself fortunate to have so very little company ion the middle of a December day.

2008-07-20 Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh: Shushi er en av byene som ble hardest rammet under krigen. Det bor fortsatt folk her, men mange bygg er fortsatt ruiner. Under og etter krigen forlot de aller fleste azeriene området og konsekvensene er blant annet forlatte moskéer som denne. Sjåføren vår gjorde et poeng av at de ikke hadde revet eller ødelagt moskéen. Det var ingen synlige tegn på hærverk, men moskéen var likevel i dårlig stand — ikke så rart etter flere år uten daglig vedlikehold i et område med harde vintre. Dette er trappen inne i en av minaretene. Foto av Christian Fredrik Borchsenius.
2008-07-20 Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh: Shushi was was of the cities that suffered the most damage during the war. There are still people living here, but many building have still in ruins. During and after the war most Azeris left the area. As a consequence you have abandoned mosques such as this one. Our driver made a point of the fact that it had not been knocked down or destroyed. There were no visible signs of vandalism, but it was in bad condition — which given years without maintenance and hars winters is not so strange. This is the stairwell in one of the minarets.

The Sultan of Selangor officially opened the mosque in 1909, two years after construction was completed. The mosque was built on the first Malay burial ground in the city. Before the national mosque, Masjid Negara, was opened in 1965, Masjid Jamek served as Kuala Lumpur's main mosque. The mosque has a Moorish architecture. Across the Klang River stands the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, a building that was designed by the same architect and shares a similar style.
