Mosque in the Mountains - Iraqi Kurdistan

jrue (57)in #photography • 5 years ago

I took this shot hang out the window of a moving Toyota Land Cruiser while driving through rural Kurdistan- near Soran. The bright white mosque really stood out against the black mountains. This mosque looked quite a bit more elaborate than most mosques in the area, which makes me wonder if this is a wealthier area than other areas nearby.

FujiFilm X-T1

I had to use a high ISO and fast shutter speed since I was moving.

Things are a little uneasy right now due to the recent referendum, but it’s a great place to visit!
