Hi Mariusz
really like that you added in the panoromaic photo too, just to give us that overall look from far away.

and as for people destroying in the name of their God, well, people can rationalize anything they want, to meet their own needs - which is 100% wrong.

as for the photo itself, i personally like the 'lean' of towers, not everyone does.

You could correct it in photoshop, but then sometimes it looks a bit off.

to me this is more natural.
crisp and clear image with the wide angle.
see you around
Craig

Hi Mariusz,
Excellent angle, good result, interesting architecture, well composed with people and colored clothes.

Hello Mariusz,
Although human lives are the most important I also feel a great pain when ancient treasures are destroyed. All of us, regardless of faith, lose parts of our common human heritage when old temples or statues have gone forever.
As for this photo it shows a remarkably interesting combination of Gothic church and mosque. I have never seen anything like this before. You were lucky to have a group of Indian tourists (I think) arriving at the same time. Few people add so much colour as Indians. They are the blessing of any photographer ;-).
Kind regards,
Gert

Witaj Mariusz,

Also in Belgium are different churches with an other destination.
A nice daily life picture with the three women in foreground.
Sharpness and clarity make your picture wonderful.
Composition and presentation, make your picture attractive.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

Also many synagogues, Mariusz, and all over.
Yes, those things happened throughout history, most time not much left as evidence.
Here, on your picture, we can see clearly the minerats built above the Gothic archs of the gates, removed ancient signs of different religion.
A POV well chosen, and managed well the upwards view.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hello Mariusz,
A very sad time for mankind when violence, killing and raping became a new religion attracting so many frustrated people in different countries of the world.
I hate it that the cultural heritage is being destroyed in Palmyra, Mosul and years ago already in Bamyan. But this is nothing compared to what's happening with the people who live there. They are burned alive, drowned in cages, raped or thrown from tall buildings. And that for religious reasons? No, murdering is not a religion!
But you present here a very beautiful picture, an architectural oddity but a nice one.
Well composed with the overhanging leaves in the upper left corner and the shadow of a building filling the empty space in the opposite corner.
Exellent view upwards with both huge minarets pointing to the blue sky.
Best regards, Paul

Prymitywne umysły nie są w stanie myśleć konstruktywnie, historia uczy, że barbarzyńcy niszczyli wielkie cywilizacje a nie tylko pojedyncze budynki, to jest ciekawy problem, ktσry poruszasz, a zdjęcie jest dobra ilustracją
pozdrawiam Ryszard

Czesc Mariusz! Piekny obiekt architektoniczny, aparat sam wyskakuje z torby. Wspaniale sylwetki kobiet. Dobre kolory. Niepokojący cien z prawej. Cudownie czyste niebo. Pozdrawiam!

Hi Mariusz,i agree with you,it's better to change the utilisation that destroy,and this is a very nice example,now the architechture is still interesting and very well preserved,it's a pity to know what happens is some arab country during these terrible moments...perfect pic,imposing perspective and a very useful WS too.Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

cześć mariusz, Ciekawy meczet porzekształcony z gotyckiego koscioła. ładne minarety, typowo tureckie ołσwki. I dobrze Ci się udało, z tymi kobietami w tradycyjnych strojach. Ale to chyba nie muzułmavki, bo nie mają chustek na głowach. Pewnie Hinduski. Natomiast ja nie nazwałabym tych, krtσrzy niszczą dziedzictwo ludzkości chuliganami, chuligani to może rozbijają szyby lub podpalaja samochody. A ci z Państwa Islamskiego to pop prostu barbarzyńcy. Zeby metodycznie nmiszczyć obiekty z muzeum w Mosulu albo lwy z Niniwy? i bardzo boje sie o Palmyrę, bo tam sa podłożone bomby. To z religią ma mały związek, to jakis prymitywny fanatyzm. I juz od dawna myslę, że wydobywanie wykopalisk i umieszczanie ich w muzeum to lekkomyslność, bo moga stac sie łupem szaleńcow, a w ziemi byly bezpieczne.
Co dalej z Grecją - słyszę w TV.

Pozdrawiam Małgorzata

Hi Mariusz
Beautiful wide shot in particular with all the verticals, from the people and right up to minaret on the mosque which sits well in the sunlight! Such elaborate architecture and wealth of colours to savour, as always you provide such interesting b/g information that does enhance ones appreciation. Great shot, Congrats
Best regards

I love the size of this image. It gives depth and breadth to the whole. The colorful clothes ladies capture much attention.impressive architecture.
All the best

Hi Mariusz!
I agree with you! I can see that in this case some details of the Christian architecture have been kept and we have now a mixture of styles - I always find it interesting. I like the pov and presence of the women in foreground, they add much colour to the place. The panoramic is also excellent!

Hello Mariusz
I was not aware of the Turkish invasion of Nicosia & thanks to your linked post, I now know.
The tip of the minarets are distinctly Turkish & overall this is a fine combination of a church and mosque architecture. A fine use of teh wide lens as well in the portrait format
Best Regards
Angshu

Hello dear friend and have a nice time
and a happy new day
I red carefully your useful notes
that there are many places like cordoba where mosques
have been turned into churches or into museums
the title is the best with a clear meaning
welldodne
