Faisal Mosque 2, a photo from Punjab, East

Photographer's Note

The Faisal Mosque in Islamabad is the largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the sixth largest mosque in the world. It was the largest mosque in the world from 1986 to 1993 when overtaken in size by the completion of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco. Subsequent expansions of the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) of Mecca and the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) in Medina, Saudi Arabia during the 1990s relegated Faisal Mosque to fourth place in terms of size.
The mosque is located in the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad. It is situated at the north end of Faisal Avenue, putting it at the northernmost end of the city and at the foot of Margalla Hills, the westernmost foothills of the Himalayas.

Hi, Atif,

Thanks for taking a look at my pics. Since we both posted mosques views I'd like to comment here. Actually I'd never have guessed it's a mosque but for the title. It looks very unusual, at least for me since I've never been inside mosques. A very nice image!

Have a good day,
Marina
