Enormous

Another view of a gigantic compound where the minaret pictured below is located. It’s quite an interesting design, although I’m not sure what it’s going to be. It does have some very monumental gates along the road, too. This has been greatly cropped. With my D810 that would have been fine, but not so much so with this camera.

Designed by an idiot wearing boxing gloves.

I wonder if the drop in oil will impede or speed up efforts like this. Great all encompassing view. ~V~
