The Jama Masjid in Old Delhi, India – I believe India’s largest Mosque – one of my favourite buildings in the world. I love Islamic art and architecture. I wanted to create something different when photographing this beautiful building. Architecture pictures can be boring and lifeless – I didn’t want to represent the Jama Masjid in this way, because it is so full of life. I asked the boy in the foreground to run through the flock of pigeons so they would fly upwards, away from the building. It was a nice coinsidence that he was positioned in the doorway. This effect achieved, to me, looks like angels flying out of the Mosque. Angels of Allah.

In this abstract, I have attempted to capture the essence of an Arabic street market scene. / I worked quickly and used instinct and subconscious, rather than technical composition skill. I have used glued painted paper shapes, then painted an impressionist watercolour scene around the collage. 16th Sept 2008 update. / I’m currently working on a larger, watercolour-only, version of this 14”x10”. / less abstract and more real, but with impressionistic aspects.

Islamic art, typically, though not entirely focuses on the depiction of patterns and Arabic calligraphy. If you have ever seen Arabid calligraphy you could see that it manages to be both structured as well as organic at the same time. Similar are so many Islamic pattern, they have a strong geometrical sense but still posses great fluidity. This picture is an example of such, it is a hand painted Islamic pattern on the wall of a mosque in Yazd, Iran. The rich colors and the flowing lines are a wonder to see.

If I was to choose the most favourite work of out all the pictures that I have ever taken, this one would be by far the NO 1!!!!! The Masjid Negara Mosque is considered one of the most beautiful mosques in SE Asia and truly deserves its status. I love Islamic architecture in general for its clean and elegant look. However, this building’s architecture is quite unique. For me it looks like a beautiful combination of Islamic and contemporary minimalist styles. Its simplicity, clean straight lines, bright uncluttered space give a great feeling of peace, calmness and relaxation. And when I took this picture I didn’t try to create a special super interesting composition of it, I just wanted it to feel as real and as simple as it was. And I wouldn’t change a thing!!! Funnily enough, many people see absolutely nothing in it! I often ask whoever I know for their opinion of my favourite photo, and the most common response is “what about it?”… But , I suppose, as many people as many opinions and I am glad that there are people on RB who like this work and see what I see in it!!! Thanks a million to the host of the World Group for the feature!!! MORE ARCHITECTURE ART HERE Spiritual Homes…

I thought there was no hope for this pic until I converted it to Sepia! Just changed the whole feeling of it. Taken at sunset at the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The Mosque is still under construction but when finished, will be able to hold up to 10 000 worshippers. It is pretty impressive with huge turrets and gorgeous blown glass windows.

Sunrise over Fes, Morocco. Adhan (Athaan) is the Islamic call to prayer, recited by the muezzin. The root of the word is ʼḏn “to permit”, and another derivative of this word is uḏun, meaning “ear.” This is the minaret of Kairouyine mosque in Fes. The university which is attached, was founded in 859AD and ‘is considered the oldest continuously operating institution of higher learning in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records.’ (Care of Wikipedia) / Adhan I

So, what do you imagine might happen when a stunning young woman from Texas happens to make the acquaintance of a boastful sultan during a spring break tour of the Far East and challenges him to a few hands of no-limit Texas Hold ‘Em? Well, she wins a palace, that’s what. And in a round of double-or-nothing, his harem as well. Because Amaranth Cody was well brought-up and nothing if not hospitable, she insisted he remain as long as he liked, of course, but insisted that the ladies in his harem be freed, to stay or leave as they wished. Speechless in his fury, the sultan stomped off towards the east (inasmuch as anyone can stomp in sand) and was not heard from again. Should you find yourself in the Far East, be sure to drop by and pay Amaranth a visit, but whatever you do, refrain from challenging her to any card games.

I saw this scene of Istanbul from a bus window. / I threw the camera up and shot. / Unfortunately I also got lots of reflections from the bus window but I liked the scene so gave it this vintage look to hide the reflections. / Hope you like it.

Huge inner hanging lamp. I just lay down below this huge lamp (in the middle of the mosque) and took it. CITADEL, Egypt. The mosque was built on the site of old Mamluk buildings in Cairo’s Citadel between 1830 and 1848, although not completed until the reign of Said Pasha in 1857. The architect was Yusuf Bushnak from Istanbul and its model was the Yeni Mosque1 in that city. The ground on which the mosque was erected was built with debris from the earlier buildings of the Citadel. Before completion of the mosque, the alabaster panels from the upper walls were taken away and used for the palaces of Abbas I. The stripped walls were clad with wood painted to look like marble. In 1899 the mosque showed signs of cracking and some inadequate repairs were undertaken. But the condition of the mosque became so dangerous that a complete scheme of restoration was ordered by King Fuad in 1931 and was finally completed under King Farouk in 1939. Muhammad Ali Pasha was buried in a tomb carved from Carrara marble, in the courtyard of the mosque. His body was transferred here from Hawsh al-Basha in 1857.

Hagia Sophia (Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία; “Holy Wisdom”, Turkish: Ayasofya) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum, in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Medieval Seville Cathedral in 1520.
