Masjid Al-Noor

i loooove this shadow!

And I thought it was distracting a bit!

:)

if you remove this buildings it would be better :)

but still Great shot

Jamdaa aWiiii Fav :)

edbaaaa3 .. teslam eeeedak

: )

Gives the impression of a base, makes you forget it's a wall.
Well done.

How can you suggest to remove them? They`re there and they belong there - thats reality ;-)

swirlyivy means this conceals the truth well.
Seen in Truth missing pool.

--> Best viewed Large on Black. It really differs!! فرق كبييييييييير

I wanted to shoot this magnificent masjid from far away for ages now, but currently the best spot from the bridge of El-Abasiya is not good because of the construction work there infront of the masjid.

But during last Eid after witnessing the sunrise, with my lovely wife, that day; I parked the car on the bridge!! I am talking about 6th of October bridge!!! Crazy? YES may be, but I had to do it. Plus, on a Friday and about 6:30am, there wasn't much traffic to hold me back :)

I got very lucky with those clouds..alhamodlillah

Psst..I know that I seem like an HDR freak (which I AM), but this is NOT HDR btw...!! This is a single RAW shot that I played around with in Lightroom.
