relief, a photo from Halab, North

Photographer's Note

The chief purpose of prayer in Islam is to act as a person's communication with God. By reciting "The Opening", the first chapter of the Qur'an, as required in all prayer, the worshipper can stand before God, thank and praise Him, and to ask for guidance along the Straight Path...

Ciao Korkut
foto bellissima con una marcia in più dovuta alla presenza degli uomini intenti a fare cose molto diverse tra loro.
Complimenti
Carlo

Hi Korkut,
wonderful shot with nice frame work...like the arches on the roof of the architecture with hanging lamps...
the praying man in FG & the man in BG who is taking rest add a great dynamism in this image...
nice POV...good light management with nice B/W tone & sharpness...

mehraba korkut,

I immediately recognize the Aleppo Mosquee. I took a somehow similar shot some 3 years ago when I was there.
I also like your choice of B&W that makes everything so timeless...

ciao

Hi Korkut,

beautiful view of the arches from Umayyad Mosque. I was there during the prophet's birtthday, so it was very crowded. Here quite different mood. Superb composition in black and white. I like this row of lamps.

Warm regrad
