Mosques all over the city are decorated with colourful lights during Ramadan. Last week I took a few photos of a mosque as seen from our balcony...
...in colour...

The Arabic word for mosque is djame

  2. Looks nice. I always like lights on a building for the beauty they give at night.

  5. Nice captures Jo and I really like you played with the tones. I can imagine you while changing the settings of your camera and experimenting with the white balances and exposure.

    In here, the Arabic word for mosque is masjid. I like this, am learning the Sudanese Arabic.
