Jama Mosque, Old Delhi, India, 2008

Raptors swirl around one of the many towers of this mosque, the largest in India. Its courtyard can hold 25,000 worshippers. I abstract this mosque by not only shooting only a small part of it, but also by silhouetting the subject I’ve chosen. To me, this single tower, festooned in lights and circled by birds of prey, expresses the feelings I had at the moment.

I knew you would see that tiny glow the instant I made it, Tim. It lends a small touch of dimension to an otherwise flat silhouette.

I see this a a study in light. I like the way there is a small glow on the dome of the tower.
