Description One of the few noteworthy sites in Casablanca, Morocco. king Hassan II mosque overshadows all other mosque or palaces I have EVER seen before.

This picture shows just one of the fountains located around the building, the man sitting on the side gives a good measure of how big this place is.

It also has the tallest minaret in the world!

Splendid work. I love the lighting and the atmosphere and of course the motif. I wanted to give some constructive criticism, but I can't find anyting not to like.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much, I feel like I have reached a point where technical knowledge is only a slight problem, its my own personality that is getting in the way!

I had hoped to take more pictures of people this time around, but sadly I reverted to my old ways and stuck to what I like to do best;architecture!

Interesting! If my dreams come true, I'll become an architect in about 6 years. If I'm lucky, I'll get in at my towns Architectural university this autumn.

The middle eastern architecture is one of my biggest sources of inspiration, thank you for supplying me with awesome work!
