Mosque they do that?

 There is a mosque (a Turkish Masjid to be exact) being very, very, very slowly built in Midrand.

Isn't that interesting?

By Day really it's just a rather ugly building constructed for religious worship by someone to whom 'ghastly' is a medium worth delving into.

 

 I affectionately call it the Dead Cow, because of those four legs in the air in 'udder' despair!

But okay, it's not the world's most glamorous building, being all dark and stoney, interesting but not all that?
Ah but this bovine has a few tricks up her sleeves!

Because Baby when the sun goes down the lights go on!!!

Neon greens, purples, reds and blues!
Lit up like a Christmas tree - which ironically is something they'd not be into...

Don't you think it looks a bit like a casino?
"Come in for worship - slots are hot and the aces wild, by the end of the night we'll give you ample reason to pray!!"

In the early morning the building tends to wind down a bit. It's left with a few lights upon each hoof  and these bands of colour around the legs.

Bands of colour that change colour that is!
Heaven, or whatever paradise is connected herewith, forbid the lights should stay the same shade!
Red, blue, green, purple! (They do seem to have their favorite colours right there hey?)
This temple does nothing by half!

I must admit I always feel a place for worship should be somewhere out doors with mother nature, or at least somewhere pretty where you can contemplate all the wealth your god(s) has given you. But I suppose for others they need a bit of Razzle-Dazzle to heighten the experience, and each to their own I say!

 If nothing else it does give us "heathens" something to talk about!

I think one day I need to go in for a visit and see what's cooking! Until then I've attached a link to someone else's website for you to see what it's like within. Trust me, it's worth a look!

Aren't other cultures fascinating?
