Madina Masjid

[JeffR]

This area mosque is getting a complete overhaul. When finished this year (Insha'Allah) it will also feature seven domes. The new minaret kept me out for a long time in the changing light of a cold afternoon.

1. Wow!

Having the moon in there is cool too. Where are we looking? :toast:

5. Pretty much toward Mecca in the first & third, I think.

2. My goodness, JeffR - it doesn't LOOK cold! No wonder you were out

a long time, you had to hang the moon, launch some birds, and sharpen the camera lens for these beautiful depictions.
I'm very impressed with the color and clarity.
Breathtaking!

[JeffR]

6. Thanks, Mira

Looking back at them, you're right. They could have been taken at midsummer.

If the domes do get completed this year, I'll be heading back (on what I hope will be a warmer day). Some excellent halal grocery stores nearby, as a bonus.

3. That is beautiful

7. Isn't it? The minaret is the tallest thing around for quite a distance.

The main dome is going to be nearly as tall. They've taken a pay-as-they-go approach with this project. The final plan looks impressive:

4. Beautiful shots

and a beautiful mosque. The birds and the moon, wow!

8. When the first bird entered the viewfinder, my heart skipped.

Glad I resisted the temptation to grab a few quick shots and head home before they showed up.
