[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Khatmiyah village in Eastern Sudan - close to eritrean border;
it's very important Sufi pilgrimage center in Sudan not even for Sudanese but also for Saudis or Egyptians;
the mosque al-Khatmiyah was built here in the XIXth century;
beautifully located in Taka mountains looks like the place from the other planet;
the founder of the mosque - Hassan is buried here;

Hello Slawek,

I am not so used to put superlative but this photo is really incredible, for me it is all the interest of TE to get such kind of picture. We are learning of other place, the photo technics are good with this composition showing the mosque in the landscape but also in the life of the people. For me this photo could have been used in some newspaper.
Thanks to have shared,

Yves.

FAVOLOSO POSTO

Hi Slawek, this shot is simply stunning: amazing landscape, beautiful architecture and a good glimpse of daily life in a so remote country.
Congratulation for this shot and for your interesting gallery: I put both in my favorites.

Hello Slawek,
very nice and interesting shot of great perspective. You composed it greatly in three levels: local people in the fg. dressed in their typical cloths, the nice mosque in the middle and the gorgeous mountains in the bg. So thanks to you,we have all these interesting subjects in one shot. This country is definitely on my wish list and hope to visit it asap. Very well done and tfs!

Cześć! Po slajdowisku właśnie to zdjęcie było jednym z tych, na które najbardziej czekałem, tu na TE. To miejsce jest absolutnie fantastyczne i mam nadzieję, że pojawią się wkrótce także Twoje kolejne zdjęcia z tych gór. Ta fota jest doskonała. Świetna kompozycja, kadr, punkt widzenia. Bardzo podobają mi się te skały na drugim planie, takie jakby zamglone i trochę nierealne. Dobrze komponują się z tym meczetem. Pierwszy plan też ciekawy, Ci ludzie ożywiają kadr. I w sumie mamy wszystko w jednym: Fajna scenka z codziennego życia, mieszkańców tej wioski, ciekawą architekturę i imponujący twór przyrody. Rewelacja jednym słowem. Jestem pod wrażeniem! Pzdr. Andrzej

Great depth to this photo. I also like the hazy sky and colors. really interesting.
