Picture a Day - Mosque at night

qwerrie in Picture A Day • 8 days ago (edited)

Today I finished my office duties today earlier - just 4 hours before midnight, which was by four hours earlier than yesterday, lol. Closing the door behind and going out into the night I discovered that the city has (for the sixth time! or maybe tenth? I lost count :) "the first snow" falling from the sky. After a couple of hours or the next morning it disappears without a trace, leaving the ground, streets and tree branches dirty, black and ugly... You probably already understood where I'm going with this, right? Suddenly I had an irresistible mood for a walk around the streets, accompanied by night photography. Recently I haven't had time to sort and process photos, so - let this be a post for the Picture A Day community.

This was St.Petersburg's Grand Mosque located at Petrogradsky district.

location:	St.Petersburg, Russia	December 2024	street lampposts
camera/lens:	Canon 5dm3	Canon 16-35mm	raw-conv
t 1/40	F4	ISO 1250

My pleasure! it is, indeed, very huge and thus hard to take a decent pic.
Here is a photo in daylight for you just to see what it looks like as a whole:

hehe no-no brother, i hear muezzins from the villages located 5-10 km, and at 4am is not something what you're willing to hear. especially if you live in the area much closer you need to wear some strong head speakers with the goal to continue sleeping :-)))))
