Mosque are becoming too small here, and some communities have started praying in the street, which has triggered a lot of discussions - the country being traditionally catholic.

MARX77 In reply to djailledie [2012-01-26 17:42:13 +0000 UTC]

I think discussing religions is a waste of time and oxygen, quite honestly.
People can pray inside their homes if they want to.
We need to focus more on providing shelter for the homeless.
No mosque, temple, or church is greater than a roof over an orphan's head.

That's a nice one Khuram, I think the frame could be better though. Shooting people while they're praying is very interesting!

MARX77 In reply to e-l-a-n-i [2012-01-22 22:48:47 +0000 UTC]

I know. But I didn't wanna overstay my welcome by taking multiple shots.
And besides, I'm following my self-imposed 'one shot' discipline - that is, to take one photo and move on.

Thank you, dear Eleni!

Thank you, Weaver.
I was surprised that they let me photograph them from so close.
After I had taken the shot, I waited for them to finish so I could show them the photo.
It was well received!
Lovely people.

I emailed this to 28 people before posting it here.
