Muhammad Ali Mosque, Cairo, Egypt, 2011

Situated high on the summit of Saladin’s citadel, this Ottoman mosque dominates the skyline of the city. Built in the mid-19th century, this mosque features two pulpits. This one, dimly seen behind the ornate light fixture, is the largest in Egypt. I spot-metered on the bulbs to stress the beauty of the light fixtures, causing the pulpit to fade softly into the darkness.
