Sirsendu- I got curious and looked up minaret in the dictionary and it tells me its a tall tower with a balcony, but not what it was used for. Would like to know that.
I love the pov and the way you took this picture though the opening in the wall. Love the geometric look with lines and colomn. The earthtone of the bricks is a gorgeous color. Lighting excellent as is clarity.
I also enjoyed the story of this place and what it is all about. Love to learn about the places and things we see from other parts of the world and learn about them.
Incredible work #6692243
