On #ThisDayInHistory in 1979 in #SaudiArabia, 600 militants opposed to the monarchy, often called #JuhaymansIkhwan, seized control of the #GrandMosque in #Mecca. Showing the connexion between Western powers and dictatorship in the #GlobalSouth, French #GIGN officers were sent in.

Circularium Mesquita Magna (2011).

One of the panoramas that I like a lot for many things, mainly architectural in nature. I've spent a considerable time re-stitching this panorama yesterday, since I couldn't find any modeling files. However, I presume it is better to do this one in HDR anyway for the vivacity in colors and the control over the lighting of the place. This said, though, there was still lot of work needed to adjust and fix the colors tones. I would have rotated the camera to make the golden lines act as "gravity lines" emerging from the poles, but that would create some imbalance because of the other elements in the scene, so I had to keep it that way.
For the record, the center of the image is the dome, and the Quran in the glass cage is placed precisely under the dome; so to shoot this panorama, originally, I've stood steadily next to the glass cage and hoped for the best in terms of the overall symmetry.
