This is a view of the gardens and minaret of the Kutubiyya Mosque in Marrakesh, Morocco.
The mosque was founded in 1147 by the Almohad caliph Abd al-Mu'min right after he conquered Marrakesh from the Almoravids. A second version of the mosque was entirely rebuilt by Abd al-Mu'min around 1158, with Ya'qub al-Mansur possibly finalizing construction of the minaret around 1195. This second mosque is the structure that stands today. It is considered a classic and important example of Almohad architecture and of Moroccan mosque architecture generally. The minaret tower, 77 metres (253 ft) in height, is decorated with varying geometric arch motifs and topped by a spire and metal orbs. It likely inspired other buildings such as the Giralda of Seville and the Hassan Tower of Rabat, which were built shortly after in the same era. The minaret is also considered an important landmark and symbol of Marrakesh.

The Koutoubia Mosque's minaret is the most famous in Marrakech, Morocco
The mosque's minaret has been standing guard over the old city since the Almohads erected it in the 12th century.
Situato a pochi metri dalla porta d'ingresso della fortezza, lungo la via principale, si erge questo tozzo minareto. Iniziata la costruzione nel 1850 avrebbe dovuto raggiungere un'altezza di circa 90 metri e diventare il minareto più alto dell'Asia Centrale. A seguito della morte del committente la costruzione si è fermata all'altezza di "soli" 26 metri. La struttura imponente e le magnifiche decorazioni ne hanno fatto comunque uno dei simboli di Khiva. Sulla destra si nota la facciata di un'antica Madrasa, trasformata in hotel a 5 stelle.
Lungo la via decine di negozi e bancarelle offrono ai numerosissimi turisti mercanzia di ogni genere.

First decent snow of the season! Well, the California drought still isn't over... but this sure was an amazing thing to wake up to in the backcountry after three days of snow and many hours of white out conditions.
I shot this on a super fun backpacking trip last weekend with Erin Babnik and Ted Gore. The water was like glass, which made things easy, but I had to be very careful in finding a foreground to complement the rest of the scene. Otherwise, this is just a single exposure with basic raw processing -- I'd rather let this kind of a scene speak for itself.

Khiva in Uzbekistan was the third and last Silk Road city that we visited, and like Samarkand and Bukhara they are very worthwhile visiting. This was also the city where we for the first time encountered many western tourists.
Strolling around was very enjoyable and the center of this city is one big museum with mosques, mausolea, madrasses and minarets. During the night the buildings are very nicely lit, and i hope to share at least one night shot.
The minaret that you see here is the Islam Khodja Minaret, and it is a rather superficial remark how beautiful this one is with all the colors, patterns and different tile work.
20 September I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.

Smoke from a fire on the other side of the Sierra Nevada seemed to still be lingering in the air at sunset on this day.
My mom's cousin used to climb the Sierra Nevada with John Muir and friends. He was photographed by Ansel Adams. His name was Glen Dawson. He lived to age 103, a testament to the great outdoors and the kind of frequent walking and climbing exercise he got. One of the minarets is named after him. www.summitpost.org/minarets/247994
Ibn Tulun also added his own innovations: according to architectural historians, this is the first structure to use pointed arches, two hundred years before the European Gothic arch.
The mosque occupies 2.5ha, large enough for the entire Al-Fustat community to gather there to pray on Fridays.
The geometric simplicity of the mosque is best appreciated from the top of the minaret, which also has magnificent views of the Citadel.

Chor Minor was built in 1807 and was considered unusual building the landmark of Bukhara (Uzbekistan). The design differs from the traditional style and is based on the Taj Mahal. Because of its four minarets were referred to it with chorus (four) Minor (minaret)
Manavgat est une ville de la province d'Antalya, sur la côte méditerranéenne de la Turquie.
En 2004 y a été construite une mosquée à quatre minarets. C'est une réplique modeste mais très belle de la Mosquée Bleue d'Istanbul qui possède six minarets.
This is a "creative edit" from 2 images taken years apart. The foreground was shot with a Canon 5dmk2, the moon with a Fuji GFX 100S. I have tried over the years to get the actual moonset over the Minarets, but that turned out to not be technically feasible with any location/lens combination. This was the vision I had, so I punted and tried my hand at a composite to see what it would like like if I'd done it the "right" way. It came out pretty good I think, but you're fee to thumbs up or down it.
Have a happy new year, and let's hope it's not as oppressive as 2021 has been.
Thanks for your visit!
The Wazir Khan Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan,
is famous for its extensive faience tile work. It has been described as ' a mole on the cheek of Lahore'. It was built in seven years, starting around 1634-1635 A.D., during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan. It was built by Shaikh Ilm-ud-din Ansari, a native of Chiniot, who rose to be the court physician to Shah Jahan and later, the Governor of Lahore. He was commonly known as Wazir Khan. (The word wazir means 'minister' in Urdu language.) The mosque is located inside the Inner City and is easiest accessed from Delhi Gate.

Minarets – Ediza Lake – Ansel Adams Wilderness
This is a scene I captured in 2009. Back then I processed a three-shot HDR version, which after recently reviewing, I decided that I was not happy with the final image. Back then, I had very minimal Photoshop skills, and I thought HDR would be the best way to process the shot.
As I have now developed a workflow using Adobe Raw, I decided to re-process this single image. Final tweaks were still performed in Photoshop.
A 6.5 mile hike is required to access this Sierra Wilderness gem. The destination makes the hard work worth it, as you arrive at Ediza Lake, idyllically nestled below Mt. Ritter, Mt. Banner and The Minarets.
