Location City -  Cairo
State - 
Country - Egypt   Egypt
About Nowhere in the Muslim world can you find such a profusion of domes and minarets as in Cairo. Rising from the haze of crowded, crumbling streets in the old, chaotic, yet picturesque medieval parts of the city, they dominate the city's skyline. Minarets, indeed, are Cairo's joy and ornament and the source of Cairenes' favorite nickname: "Madeenet el alf Midhana," "the city of a thousand minarets."
This is a photo for the Minarets and Domes of the Madrasa (school) of Sultan Hassan at old Cairo city.

Hi Khaled, thanks for your comments on my pics.

I have travelled on train through your wonderful country. These minarets remind me somewhat of my visit there.

I like the high contrast and -ve / +ve spaces in this shot. It would make an excellent assignment for an art class. ;-)

Pradeep

ps. If you get a chance, go and see the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.

excellent silhouette work here Khaled. I did something similiar in Thailand with some ruins. I wish I could have the time to travel to Cairo and try to catch some of these shot myself. Maybe one day I can and we can go out and shoot some of the sights you know. I am curious though, how this might have looked in color? How was the sky color when you shot this?

What beautiful silhouettes, Khaled! The towers are so ornate and graceful - Cairo must be a lovely city! I love the graphical qualities of this image with the stark black against white, like a shadow play! Very well done!
