Stunning Portraits from the Islamic World

There are some very nice images in this post from Lightstalking, here is what they have to say

“Anyone who is lucky enough to have travelled anywhere in the Islamic world will know it is a trove of diversity, colour and remarkable photographic opportunities. As in most travel spots, chief among the photographic opportunities are the people. We think this collection shows a good spread of what can be achieved with portraits when travelling in many places of the Islamic world and might even have you reaching for your passport.”....more pictures are here

40 Gorgeous and Serene Photos of Mosques

A trip through any part of the Muslim world will throw up a barrage of great photographic opportunities, none better than the stunning architecture of the mosques. During my trip to Syria in 2009 I was lucky enough to spend time at the great Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, it was a source of great photographic inspiration. These images on the Lightstalking site are also delightful
