Helen Stephenson's India Trip - June-July, 2006 - Mosque

Sunday June 25^th ...continued

The rickshaw ride also took me by the largest mosque in Delhi.

I've included this picture showing the street leading up to the Mosque. It shows street space being shared by white vans, rickshaws and an Austin Ambassador in Delhi taxi livery.

Its domes had huge numbers of birds on them.

There were a great many minarets, and if you look closely at the picture on the left of the line below here, you will see that one minaret had a great many people in it.

I was tempted to employ PhotoShop on the right of these two pictures, as one of the three birds approaching the minaret didn't have its wings at full flap!

Here's a slightly different variation: a squared dome support rather than a minaret.

The rickshaw ride took longer than I was originally quoted for and the price went up considerably, but I managed to get it down nearly to a level that I was happy about. The rickshaw driver would have loved to have got his hands on some Dollars or some Sterling, but I wasn’t carrying any. In fact, he would have liked considerably more Sterling than I ended up paying him in Rupees.
