Karaouiyine Mosque - Medina, Fez

The Karaouyine Mosque was established in 859 making it one of the oldest in the country and one of the most distinguished. The mosque name comes in a variety of spellings such as Qarawiyin, Karouine and Karaouine and has been thought of as the spiritual centre of Fez. As with most mosques, non-Muslims cannot go inside but can see a little inside from the main door.

Reminds me of the Damascus Room that is on display at the New York MET; the room is reception chamber which was typical of the Ottoman period. Wish there was a caption to go along with this photo.

The place of nature in Islamic Art emphasizes the essence of natural beauty. So go on out, out of your building, house--whatever it is that confines you, and soak in nature. Indeed, it is one of the sites where upon who find the beauty of thy Lord. Nature being, His enormous canvas.
