Kevada Mosque, Champaner, Gujarat, India

Kevada Mosque (also Kewda or Kevda) is a mosque in Champaner, Gujarat state, western India. It is part of the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The mosque has minarets, globe-like domes, and narrow stairs. According to Ruggles (2008), nature was integrated into the Kevada mosque's architecture in a way that was unusual elsewhere in the Islamic world.

This mosque was built in Champaner during the time of Mahmud Begada, as were several other masjids, such as the Bawaman, Ek Minar, Jama, Khajuri, Nagina, and Shahar Ki. After James Burgess and Henry Cousens wrote descriptions of the Kevada, Jama, and Nagina Masjids, roads were built to reach them. The Kevada is notable because of its mausoleum. Kathra Masjid is west of the Kevada.

The masjid has many mehrabs, all intricately carved. There is a damaged brick tank for ablutions before prayers are offered at the mosque. The centotaph is square in shape with a fluted central dome and four corner domes; it is located next to the tank. The layout of the masjid is rectangularFloral and geometrical designs adorn the niches. The tribate inter-columns are considered attractive. The prayer hall, a double storied structure, had three domes but the central dome has since disappeared. The windows have balconies built over pillars with intricate carved decorations. There are two minarets, which are also decorated with intricate carvings. Restoration works were carried out in the 1890s.

Good mornin' beautiful, how was your night

Mine was wonderful with you by my side

And when I open my eyes and see your sweet face

It's a good mornin' beautiful day.

I couldn't see the light

I didn't know day from night

I had no reason to care

But since you came along

I can face the dawn

'Cause I know you'll be there.

Good mornin' beautiful how was your night

Mine was wonderful with you by my side

And when I open my eyes and see your sweet face

It's a good mornin' beautiful day.

Small memories of a passage through this beautiful city of Strasbourg, flowery, colorful and full of good waves.

Petits souvenir d’un passage par cette magnifique ville de Strasbourg, fleurie, haute en couleur et pleine de bonnes ondes.

Beautiful Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, Banff National Park. Sometimes known as the Twenty Dollar View as this vista was featured on the reverse side of a twenty dollar bill. It is a truly breathtaking valley surrounded by beautiful mountains.

The Ten Peaks are Mount Fay 3,234m, Mount Little 3,140m, Mount Bowlen 3,072m, Mount Tonsa 3,054m, Mount Perren 3,051m, Mount Allen 3,310m, Mount Tuzo 3,246m, Mount Deltaform 3,424m, Neptuak Mountain 3,233m and Wenkchemna Peak 3,170m

One of my dear friends, Kori, was killed in a car accident on march 2nd at only 14 years old. Things can happen so suddenly. Just the other day I was waiting to be picked up after soccer practice and had said hi to her as she walked by me. It takes incidents like this for you to truly realize how beautiful and precious life is! All I can think of is that she was so young...she won't get the chance to go to college, fall in love, get married, have children, and to grow up. I feel so blessed to have a loving home, family that care about me, and wonderful friends. I hope you all will cherish every moment of your life, even the difficult times, because life is a beautiful thing and you only get one.

A wedding dress is one of the most feminine things a woman could wear, and it felt so amazing to be wearing this one.

An diesem Feld voller Disteln bin ich sicher einige hundert mal vorbei gefahren. Heute bei Sonnenaufgang hab ich die Gelegenheit dann mal am Schopf gepackt und hab dort vor dem Frühstück ein paar Fotos geschossen.

Decided to work on my photography, and this idea popped into my head based off the song I was listening too.

I now realize that this probably wasn't the best thing to post on Mother's Day. Sorry about that. don't mean to be insensitive in any way.

Beautiful Orchid

In Norwegian, the original language:

"Å vakne til ein ny dag

er som å få ei forundringspakke.

Du veit ikkje kva ho inneheld,

og kvar gong

er det like spanande å opne ho.

I've spent the weekend on a really beautiful place, rehearsing with my gospel choir, and I'm glad I brought my camera to capture the traces of autumn and the reflections in the lake, in the warming sun both mornings ツ

This is one of my favorite dresses, and I love wearing it. It always makes me feel very feminine.
