The Mosquee of Paris, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

The big mosque of Paris (ar:مسجد باريس) is the biggest mosque of France (one hectare) of Spanish-Moresque style with a minaret 33 metres high, inaugurated on July 15th, 1926 in the 5th district of Paris.
The decision to build the Big Mosque of Paris (first mosque built in France) is taken after the battle of Verdun in 1916 which made 28 000 deaths Muslims, and to honour about 70 000 dead Moslem soldiers (38 000 of the Maghreb among which 23 000 Algerians) for France during the First World war.
Financed by France, and built by craftsmen of the Arabic world, it is inspired by the Mosque El-Qaraouiyyξn of Fes, all its ornamental part and in particular mosaics is confided to craftsmen specialized North Africa with traditional materials. The minaret of 33m is inspired by that of the Big mosque of Kairouan in Tunisia.
The mosque contains: a room of prayer, a madrassa ( school), a library, a meeting room, a restaurant, a tearoom, a hammam and shops. (Wikipedia)

It's a magnificent place, I deeply advise you to go there, if you do not know it.

Here, we see the reflection of the building situated opposite in the windows of the room of restaurant of the mosque. I found that it formed an interesting mixture.

bonjour Diane,

cela a l'air complθtement symιtrique et pourtant cela ne l'est pas totalement! L'ouvrant de gauche cache bien son jeu. J'aime bien la vue que l'on a au travers. En plus avec une rιflexion sans trouble ou presque mais aussi avec une camιra de surveillance, ce qui nous rappelle quand mκme qu'on est dans un endroit sensible...

Bonne soirιe!

Salut Diane

Un mιlange de styles qui se fond harmonieusement, tu as encore eu l'oeil.
Le cadrage est parfait pour faire ressortir le graphisme de ces fenκtres et apprιcier les fins dιtails des frises.
Un sujet original, et une note concise et trθs intιressante.
J'y suis allιe il y a longtemps et n'ιtais pas autant ΰ l'affϋt de dιtails.. J'aimerais y retourner.

Bises,
Karine

Hello Diane,
Interesting details!
I like the simplicity of the composition, where you make well use of the principle of three...
No "disturbing" colours, making the viewer focus on the details in the craftsmanship!
Greetings,

A faultless POV Artemi.
Your composition my friend is very good and delicate.
The light blue reflactions on the windows are real beautiful.
Of course an excellent and very informative notice.
My compliments

Bonjour Diane,

Yes, it is wonderful mixture! Love the contrast of framed elements, full of detailed craft work and reflected window structure creating its own pattern. Colurs are in beautiful harmony of blue gray and black superbly composed to show all mentioned. And as usuall for you excellentlly presented.

Warm regards,
Jeri

J'aime beaucoup la patite touche de bleue, trθs lιgθre, trθs subtile dans ce monde sombre. Et puis, on se croirait vers le Maroc et ηa c'est cool aussi, surtout quand on voit qu'on est ΰ Paris. Un dιpaysement tout en finesse, donc...
