The first image has a distinctly blue cast, which may be the consequence of atmospherics, but I think not. I look especially at "white" tiles in the minaret, which are not, *on my monitor*, white, but bluish. I also notice the almost utter absence of red. This feels very Ektachromish to me--which I always thought a disappointing film. The second, though the sky verges on blown out in the jpeg, pretty faithfully reproduces a broad gamut from the whites of the tile aforementioned to the neutral black shadows in the arch in the extreme lower left of the frame. The pale blue of the upper mosaic of the dome is far more subdued and textured than in the first image; more important, the ochre and red tilework (especially at the base of the dome) are distinct: again the gamut here is pretty broad. I don't know what this mosque 'really' looks like, but to my mind the only persuasive image here is the second one. Lovely place. Where is it?
