Town mosque

This mosque was in the middle of newer Diriyah, pretty ordinary except for the striking minaret. I must admit I like Islamic architecture in any country, and here the style is quite different to any other place I’ve been. Very appropriate for a desert kingdom, I think.

Another picture posted earlier (now that I once again have power, a working phone line and an Internet connection!) of a country mosque:

Nicely photography to impress us with the height. I like the architecture... especially those arrows pointing upward. V

Nicely composed with the palm in front. The geometry of the tower is very nice. V

I like the way you used the tree to frame the tower. Lovely mosque and image. V.
