I have been looking at this image for quite sometime now, because I think it’s a little tilted, but finally I decided to post it anyway today.
The said minaret is one of the visible part of White mosque here in Old Palace avenue, I don’t know exactly the name for this mosque, but most people called it Palace Mosque, since it is nearly located in the Old Palace, and some called it Gudaibiya mosque but others called it White mosque, since it is painted white through out the exterior.
Took this last weekend, and I think its ok to shoot outdoor since hot season is soon to end.
The minaret is viewed in far distance in the image below.

The conditions at blue hour were great with all the haze and clouds. Compared with my usual style, I went a bit heavy-handed and dramatic in my processing.
Wandering around on my first night in Istanbul I walked to the Sultan Ahmet Park. This sits between the two large mosques on the hill top overlooking the straights seperating Europe from Asia.

Groupe de femmes ouïghoures posant devant mon objectif sur la place de la mosquée Id Kah à Kashgar, région autonome du Xinjiang, Chine.
Construite en 1442 et depuis plusieurs fois agrandie, rénovée et réaménagée, la mosquée Id Kah est. située sur la place centrale de la vieille ville de Kashgar, dont la superficie permet la présence de plus de 10 000 personnes à la prière du vendredi ou lors des fêtes religieuses.Sa salle de prière est une longue galerie soutenue par 140 piliers sculptés.
Autrefois entourée de rues pittoresques bordées de bazars, l’accès de la mosquée a été réaménagé par les autorités chinoises au début du millénaire de manière tellement radicale que l’une de nos amies voyageant avec nous et qui était passée ici quelques années plus tôt, a fondu en larmes en voyant l'ampleur des destructions.
Ville de la Région autonome ouïghoure du Xinjiang, Kashgar et son oasis se trouvent au point de rencontre ouest des routes nord et sud qui contournent le désert de Taklamakan
Étape majeure de la Route de la soie historique durant vingt siècles du fait de sa position géographique privilégiée entre désert et montagne, Kashgar avait su rester une ville à l'identité ouïgoure fortement marquée. Malheureusement, depuis plusieurs décennies, le gouvernement central chinois s'est employé, avec l'efficacité qu'on lui connait, à détruire les spécificités de cette culture turcophone de religion musulmane plus orientée vers l'Asie Centrale que vers la Chine Han, imposant à cette ville historique une culture chinoise qui n'est pas la sienne. La vieille ville de Kashgar autrefois parfaitement conservée dans son authenticité, a beaucoup souffert de cette politique de négation de la culture ouighoure.
Géographiquement , démographiquement et culturellement le Xinjiang appartient à la partie est de l'Asie centrale. Une succession de peuples et d'empires (dont les Tibétains, les Mongols, les Timourides, les Russes....) ont rivalisé pour le contrôle de son territoire dont l'histoire est documentée sur au moins 2 500 ans.. Cependant, de 840 à 1130, le royaume de Kocho marque une période d'indépendance et même d'expansion vis à vis de la Chine des Tang et au XXème siècle les Ouighours établissent même à deux reprises une république autonome sur une partie de la région. L'une d'elle, très éphémère (1933 - 1934) a pour capitale Kashgar.
A partir de la dynastie Han au IIe siècle av. J.-C., sous le nom de Protectorat des Régions de l'Ouest, la région fait partie des territoires chinois à différentes périodes et passe sous la domination de la dynastie Qing au XVIIIe siècle, remplacée en 1912 par le gouvernement de la république de Chine. À la fin de la guerre civile chinoise, en 1949, il fait partie de la république populaire de Chine
