Correction of last entry’s typos: “The last shot poses many meanings in accordance with the knowledge gifted by God to the viewer. Scoped through the pergola, both the geometric shapes of the pergola’s opening creates a contrast of the reflected white blue sky aginst the mirror stillness of the pond, provides a symmetry of effects which lifts the uncommon spirit and God Willing, an eye into our soul. The Islamic term for all these is encompassed in ish, then ihsan, and these are all about love.

So you made the return trip to the mosque. This is the first time I have seen anyone take pictures of the structure like you did. Syabas! Informative and concise. The important thing is that many of us have our moulding childhood experiences there. Your pictures are good karma and by God’s permission will soften the hearts of true believers to want to take a peek inside, and again, through His Permission, perform an act of gratitude and remembrance for allowing the Visitors or Wayfarers intention to see one of his constructed reality, a Real Beauty, one we can actually behold with our senses. The last shot through the opening gaps in the covered extension gives us a glimpse of Islamic archtecture but promises the viewer with knowledge a connection between ground and sky, between earth and heavens, as the Chinese would say. Love the shot fellow Johorean. Your contribution will be recognised. Thank you.
