Rare to see a military style Masjid ul Nabwi mosque outside Cantonment, but here one is down the Canal at the LDA's Tajpura housing scheme.
It's a bit like Texas, really. In Plano, and other suburbs in Texas you'll run into megachurches on each corner of the street, and with each new block being constructed you'll find new churches going up as well. Khobar is booming (not surprising at $138 a barrel), with shiny suburbs with mcMansions popping up like mushrooms for a burgeoning middle class and the mosques try to follow the pace.
In the courtyard of the Umayyad Mosque - but I think we look like the sandpeople. Straight out of Star Wars. ;-)

One of the city's most striking landmarks, this mosque was completed in 1968, on the site of an old wooden mosque built in 1852. Its splendid gilded cupolas can be seen majestically above the Kuching skyline. All visitors are required to dress respectfully and non-Muslims are not allowed to enter during prayer times.

This photo from inside the King Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco was very difficult to photograph. So I decided that an HDR would be best because of the different levels of light. In the end, I think the picture turned out great.
The Yeni Cami was probably my favourite mosque in Istanbul. Located by the busy waterfront, and the market, the Yeni Cami is surrounded by people.

About Sultan Ahmet Mosque
The Sultan Ahmed Mosque is an historical mosque in Istanbul. The mosque is popularly known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior. It was built from 1609 to 1616, during the rule of Ahmed I. Like many other mosques, it also comprises a tomb of the founder, a madrasah and a hospice. While still used as a mosque, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque has also become a popular tourist attraction
The design of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque is the culmination of two centuries of both Ottoman mosque and Byzantine church development. It incorporates some Byzantine elements of the neighboring Hagia Sophia with traditional Islamic architecture and is considered to be the last great mosque of the classical period. The architect has ably synthesized the ideas of his master Sinan, aiming for overwhelming size, majesty and splendour. It has one main dome, six minarets, and other eight secondary domes.
