Al-Haram Al-Amain, a photo from Makkah, East

Photographer's Note

this shot inside Al-Haram Al-Amain in Makkah

Haya

**
الصورة داخل رحاب الحرم المكي الشريف بالدور الأول..
كان المكان جميل وفارغ..وهو ماساعد ع إلتقاط الصورة..
لاسيما والتصوير ممنوع بالحرم!
شاهدتُ الكثير من المعتمرين يصوّرون داخل الحرم..وكلهم بخوف..وترقب..
وللأسف..كامير كـ حجم كاميرتي الباناسونيك تفضح المصوّر!!
بعكس كاميرتي السابقة سوني صغيرة وسهل إخفائها..

لدي مشكلة أعاني دوماً منها..ميلان الصور!
ربما لأني أستخدم اليد اليسرى :)

Hallo Haya,
that is a wonderful picture of this enormous and splendid hall but some explanatory words would be helpful.

Hi, Haya, it is very interesting to me to see such a rich and beautiful interior. Please write some description of the places you show..for people living far away (and sometimes ignorant like myself) Al-Haram Al-Amain puts only a question mark...I will include your portfolio in my favorities because I also like to travel the world via photos...

This is unique picture of the mosque surrounded the Kaaba because it is not allowed to take it according to the local laws...

I will translate:

"This picture is taken in the mosque of Kaaba (the holiest place for Muslims). The place was calm and empty -which is unusual-, so I had opportunity to take this picture. Taking pictures is forbidden, but I saw many visitors taking the pictures secretly. However, my current large Camera, Panasonic – unlike my old small Camera, Sony- did not help me to take many pictures in secret. I have always a problem: the pictures are not completely straight, may be because I use my left hand”

Hi Haya
A beautiful, richly coloured photo.
You have given us a magnificent presentation of the inside of this mosque for which I thank you for many of us will never experience this first hand.
Beautiful colours and excellent POV, DOF.
Well taken
Regards
Peter
