I've been fascinated by mosque architecture for the last few years - and have been fortunate enough to visit each one photographed in the the article, and others in the Turkey, UAE, Iraq, Tunisia, Morocco, etc. So far, Iranian mosques take the cake for me - often inside they make their mosaics from mirrors. The effect is startling - the reflections are nothing short of dazzling, you have the feeling to be in an Escher arrangement. The 'best' part, is that in photographs, the effect is totally lost. Very recently, I traveled across China, and specifically to its muslim regions. What was fascinating was the variety and beauty of their mosques. It's totally crazy to see minarets built in a Chinese temple style. For those interested: http://imgur.com/a/AXhma http://imgur.com/a/AXhma
