    Where is Ghadamis… that’s a beautiful photo.

    Ghadames is in Libya, I believe. The mosque is made of adobe, right? Reminds me of the masajid in New Mexico (Darul Islam in the Abiquiu mountains).

    I really enjoyed the symbolism behind Islamic Union. So many colors. All of us side by side, unified. Ameen.

    And of course, the Swiss Minaret in Acrylic photo is so on point. It’s beautiful and currently poignant.
