The Essalam mosque is a large mosque in the Rotterdam neighborhood Feijenoord, near the football stadium De Kuip. The house of worship is the largest mosque in the Netherlands. Due to its size, the mosque strongly defines the face of the district. The dome is 25 meters high and the minarets are 50 meters high.
This is a HDR from 5 different exposures.
From the main gate, this mosque is to the left of the Taj Mahal. This is still a functioning mosque, so the Taj Mahal and its grounds are closed to visitors on Fridays for prayers. For symmetry, there is an identical building to the right of the mausoleum that once functioned as a library and study center. The Taj Mahal was built as a mausoleum by the 5th Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The Mughals were Islamic invaders from central Asia. At the height of their empire, they controlled almost all of the subcontinent.
Hassan Pasha Mosque in Kos, seen from the Ancient Agora archaeological site.
The rich history of Kos has vividly left its mark on the architecture of the islands. That is the case with the mosques of Kos Town, strong reminders of the Ottoman rule on the island, that lasted for about four centuries, from 1523 to 1912. Today, two Ottoman mosques survive time in Kos Town and they can be seen in the centre of the city.
The Loggia Mosque also known as the Hassan Pasha Mosque, located at Hippocrates Plane Tree Square in Kos, was founded by the Turkish admiral Ghazi Hassan Pasha in 1786.
Ancient architectural elements from Roman remains have been incorporated into the fabric of the mosque and its minaret, and the mosque was possibly built on the location of a Byzantine temple of St George.
The three storey building is locked and unused and still bears the marks of wartime bombardment, especially in the tracery of the upper windows. The ground floor is taken up by several shops.

Çamlıca Mosque (Turkish: Çamlıca Camii) is a mosque located in Istanbul and the largest mosque in Turkey. The mosque can hold 63,000 people and includes a museum, art gallery, library, conference hall, and underground parking lot for 3,500 vehicles.
Çamlıca Mosque was designed by two female architects, Bahar Mızrak and Hayriye Gül Totu, at a cost of around TL 150 million ($66.5 million). The length of the four mosque minarets span 107.1 metres, a measurement that refers to the Battle of Manzikert (1071) fought by the Seljuk and Byzantine Empires.
Az At Meydani keleti végén emelkedik Isztambul leghíresebb, legnagyobb fényűzéssel díszített dzsámija, az oszmán építészet gyöngyszeme, a Sultanahmet Cami, amelyet azonban inkább Kék-mecset néven emlegetnek. Hatminaretes sziluettje éppoly jellemzője Isztambul látképének, mint Párizsnak az Eiffel-torony.
A mecset építését I Ahmed szultán rendelte el, leendő helyét a szultán alapos megfontolás után jelölte ki itt, a bizánci Hüppodrom helyén, mintegy rivalizálva a tér másik végén álló Aja Szófiával. Amikor 1609 januárjának egyik hideg reggelén Mehmed Aga hozzálátott a nagy mű alapjainak kijelöléséhez, az "alapkő lerakási" ceremónián részt vett maga a szultán is. A fiatal és energikus szultán odaadó figyelemmel kísérte az építkezés egész menetét, sőt minden pénteken saját kezűleg is közreműködött a munkálatokban. Szokássá vált, hogy a janicsárok, a szpáhik és magasabb rangúak is önként részt vállaltak egy-egy napra az építkezésből, amely hét és fél évig tartott - 1616-ban ért véget.
I. Ahmed szultán nem sokáig gyönyörködhetett a remekműben, mivel egy évvel később, mindössze 27 évesen meghalt.

A l’intérieur de la Mosquée Bleue, l’immense salle de prière est couverte par un grand nombre de tapis . Portée par quatre piliers imposants, la coupole principale est de 23 mètres de diamètre et élevée à 43 mètres de hauteur. En complément de cette coupole, la Mosquée Bleue comporte d’autres coupoles plus petites ainsi que des demi-dômes.
Les décorations intérieures de la Mosquée Bleue sont de toute beauté. En effet, plus de 260 fenêtres et 20 000 carreaux de faïence bleue d’Iznik composent la Mosquée Bleue. Autre pièce centrale de l’intérieur de la Mosquée Bleue est le mirhab, niche indiquant la direction de la Mecque vers laquelle les musulmans doivent se tourner pour prier. Le mirhab de la Mosquée Bleue d’Istanbul est fait de marbre blanc provenant de Marmara.

Finally! Ive been able to upload a photo to flickr. There have been a few technical issues between macs and windows, and software, and... anyways. I've been forced away from photoshop and lightroom and only have access to mac photo editor - so the photos won't look as sharp as colourful or whatever, but hopefully will force me to focus a bit more on lines and composition.
So this photo is from a dirty Ayasofya window looking to the blue mosque, and the domes of ayasofya. I wouldn't have discovered it if i hadn't been on my tiptoes and holding my camera up above me to get this shot. I really like the lines moving from right to left, to right again and then the centre with the three towers in the distance.
It is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates. The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by Persian, Mughal and Moorish mosque architecture, particularly the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan and the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco being direct influences. The dome layout and floorplan of the mosque was inspired by the Badshahi Mosque and the architecture was inspired by Persian, Mughal and Moorish design. Its archways are quintessentially Moorish and its minarets classically Arab. The design of the mosque can be best described as a fusion of Arab, Persian, Mughal and Moorish architecture.
If you like the photo I recommend to view it in fullscreen or on black background.
