Cottonball Sky, Kairouan, Tunisia, 2008

This mass of tiny clouds, rarely seen in Tunisia, provides a supernatural context for the dome of one if Islam’s holiest shrines – the Great Mosque of Kairouan. Dating to the 9th century, this dome points towards Mecca. The lacy cloud cover acts as a veil, adding a spiritual dimension to the scene.
