Picture a Day - Mosque at night

(Edited)

Today I finished my office duties today earlier - just 4 hours before midnight, which was by four hours earlier than yesterday, lol. Closing the door behind and going out into the night I discovered that the city has (for the sixth time! or maybe tenth? I lost count :) "the first snow" falling from the sky. After a couple of hours or the next morning it disappears without a trace, leaving the ground, streets and tree branches dirty, black and ugly... You probably already understood where I'm going with this, right? Suddenly I had an irresistible mood for a walk around the streets, accompanied by night photography. Recently I haven't had time to sort and process photos, so - let this be a post for the Picture A Day community.

Great walk for a night. A simple walk to relax and set our mind on what to do next. Greetings!

My pleasure! it is, indeed, very huge and thus hard to take a decent pic.
Here is a photo in daylight for you just to see what it looks like as a whole:

Haha! maybe! I wish it is so. But I never was there even at 8 AM, not speaking of 4... 😜

hehe no-no brother, i hear muezzins from the villages located 5-10 km, and at 4am is not something what you're willing to hear. especially if you live in the area much closer you need to wear some strong head speakers with the goal to continue sleeping :-)))))
