Mosque in the Mountains - Iraqi Kurdistan

in photography •  7 years ago 

I took this shot hang out the window of a moving Toyota Land Cruiser while driving through rural Kurdistan- near Soran. The bright white mosque really stood out against the black mountains. This mosque looked quite a bit more elaborate than most mosques in the area, which makes me wonder if this is a wealthier area than other areas nearby.

I had to use a high ISO and fast shutter speed since I was moving.

Sangat bagus foto ini, semua komposisi jelas terlihat, perpaduan efek yang bagus @jrue.

Beautiful picture.. this country would have developed more than it is if not because of terrorism that's happening in some parts of Iraq

Amazing!
