A short meeting and a talk about religion and beliefs, we parted ways and I'm still an atheist😊
Always respect other people’s beliefs and the world will be a better place.
I wish a happy Eid to all my friends who are Muslims and the rest a happy Friday!
Someone is praying in the direction of Mekkah under the walls of Essasouira. I did want to wait a big green wave to capture this image because my hope was to capture an "high contrast" moment, in every meaning. Do you want to try to list all the contrasts in the photo?
I didn't want to discuss this...but if you are confounded by the title, just refer to 'word artist's' comment below. Obviously he can 'read' my photos without any effort :-)

These moslim girls were praying in Istanbul's biggest and well preserved Church- Saint Antoine. I do myself believe in Humanity itself, prior to cultures, religions and national borders . This photo somehow reflects the aproach I desire humanity would chase after.

Nine Emperor Gods Festival is a very popular nine-day festival, held in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. It begins on the eve of the 9th lunar month of the Chinese calendar.
According to the traditional Chinese religion, the Nine Emperor Gods are the nine sons manifested by Father Emperor Zhou Yu Dou Fu Yuan Jun and Mother of the Big Dipper Dou Mu Yuan Jun. The Nine Emperor Gods are formed by the seven stars of the Big Dipper of the North Ursa Major. Over the time the worship to the gods declined, but the festival was brought from the mainland China to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, where it survived and got certain unique traits.
The temples of the deities hold a traditional ceremony to welcome the emperors. It's believed, that they arrive through the waterways, that's why festive processions are held from the temples to sea shore or river. The sending-off ritual starts on the last day of the festival.
Nine Emperor Gods Festival is also known as the Vegetarian Festival in Thailand and Singapore. The name derives from the vegetarian ritual, held on the eve of the festival. The followers abstain from eating meat during the festival to purify their bodies from sins.
These beautiful cloisters lead to one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe – which is still serving the public more than 700 years after it was founded. It’s part of the Franciscan monastery in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, in Croatia.
It was founded in 1317 as an in-house pharmacy for the Franciscan friars, but was later expanded to embrace all Dubrovnik’s townspeople.
Today the peaceful cloisters, and the courtyard they surround, are a welcome release from the tourist trail. And, extraordinarily, the pharmacy is still a going concern, offering products and remedies which are made according to ancient Franciscan recipes. Not least among the temptations on offer are skin creams made from local wild herbs.
