Al-Fateh Grand Mosque, Bahrain in B&W

The Al-Fateh Mosque (also known as Al-Fateh Islamic Center & Al Fateh Grand Mosque) is one of the largest mosques in the world, capable of accommodating over 7,000 worshippers at a time.

I visited Al-Fateh Grand Mosque @ Bahrain on my way to the airport to catch the flight to Bombay and took time to take some shots in B&W.

I will post the rest of the pictures in a subsequent post.

Thanks to Ringo, who managed to wake me up quite early, the day after I reached Calcutta.

Ringo : March 2010

Ringo @ 1 year and 8 months. Still has 90% of his puppy characteristics. Ringo listens to some commands when he feels like. The rest of the times, he does what he pleases and manages to drive both my mother and my wife nuts.
