Description

Qom is a religious city where most of Muslims from all over the world come there to pilgrimage.Jamkaran Mosque is a Mosque in the holy city of Qom, Iran.
It is believed to be a holy site by Shi'as, and is associated with the 12th Imam, Mahdi ibn Hasan al-Askari.

"I had a one day trip to Qom to photograph this mosque.I had waited couple of weeks to shoot the mosque in a rainy day to have a reflection on the ground but it didn't happen.
In rainy days in front of the mosque would be full of water."

This shot was stitched from 2 shots, I added the reflection in PS.PL Filter, F/11, 4 S, 28-105mm F/2.8-4 @ 38mm.
Jamkaran Mosque, Qom, Iran.
