Asma Bint Alawi Mosque, golden door

Other than the Grand Mosque, I think this was the only one that I photographed extensively, it was just that beautiful and such a surprise to find. NOTE: See previous pictures for more of this mosque, copied from my main Oman gallery.

Once upon a time... in a Galaxy far away.... It must feel strange not seeing buildings like this anymore in your neighborhood. V

That is truly beautiful! Nice work! I wonder what metal that golden door is made of?
