Default Casablanca

this was taken at the Hassan II mosque in Casablanca Morocco, the third biggest mosque in the world

little girl arches

I didn't even notice the little girl in the foreground when I took the picture, but she's what makes it for me now. I hope that you enjoy

Neil

That's a stunning image. I agree, the little girl definitely adds something different too.

Very nice silhouette, great golden tones and the girl in the foreground does it for me, too.

thank you so much for the comments guys. DPS is helping me grow as a photographer so much faster than I imagine I otherwise would and is greatly increasing my understanding and enjoyment of recording light! Basically, a big thank you to everyone on here for creating such a warm, constructive, and encouraging environment.

Neil

So many memories. I went to Morocco when I was about 18. I wish I had known how to take pictures then.
