Everyday scene

Just an everyday scene at Panorama, my favorite shopping mall. They have the most beautiful call to prayer there, which echoes throughout the entire building. Maybe it’s because of the high ceilings, but the only other place it sounds so nice is at the airport (which, come to think of it, also has very high ceilings). I really should try to record it some time. (Actually, I have tried, but it didn’t work out so well.)

Two for the price of one, posted earlier:

Kids are the same everywhere even in an upscale mall. Nicely observed, Helen. V

An excellent image. Great light coming through the ornate ceiling, festive with the balloons. And great that you were able to capture all the people facing the other way without seeing you take their photo!
