Mosque lines

I took this on the run as we decided we better get off the premises with Sahraa as the call to prayer had sounded and dogs aren't too much liked by the Saudis (and especially, I'm sure, on the grounds of a mosque).

I have gotten a bit behind with commenting due to trying to unpack some of our household effects, but I'm finally making some progress. The first floor is pretty livable now, except for the countless paintings leaning against every spare wall (even in the bathroom!) and the rolled up carpets everywhere. I'll try to catch up in between editing articles at work.

A clear and colourful capture of this view of part of the Mosque...what a building, the green framing is spot on...V

The plant life and the building go well together. I see lots of triangles again. V

A great view of of organic and man made shapes and forms. Something of interest every where in the frame. V

I am enthralled by the contrast between the jagged building forms and the flowing plant...and I hope you had time to put the yellow bin back where it came from

Well framed photograph through the 3 arches, especially like the nearest arch point with the distant serrated roof line and the inverted triangle (A Light?) at the end.
