Where Are The Feet This Month??

Hi Everyone. Each month I thought I would do a little feature on where my feet have been. Tee Hee. So hopefully here is the first of many. Here we go, these are my feet photographed outside The Putra Mosque in Putra Jaya Malaysia. I must say not every month will be as exciting as this!!!!!!!!! They maybe in my garden one month dare I say in my wellies! Digging!



My mum and special niece joined me in this pic'..

This was our first viewing of the Mosque across the square. It was an exceptionally hot day but we were so keen to venture further.

You can see why it is known as The Pink Mosque. It is so beautiful with such intricate decoration and it's dome is pink. This was the front of the mosque but we were told that if you viewed the Mosque from the lake it look to be almost floating.

We couldn't stop snapping the detail, looking for inspiration for future textile projects. I'm afraid I cannot show you inside the mosque because photographs were not allowed.

And here we are ready to enter. Shoes removed at the door. We walk down this fabulous entrance and had a wonderful guide that instructed us all about The Putra Mosque itself, the Mosque way of prayer and the reasons behind where and why individuals are sited for praying in the Mosque. It was extremely interesting and we were made most welcome. You can see on the right had side of this picture the beautiful shoe racks for placing your footwear before entering. The Mosque prayer hall can accommodate 8000 people.

I must say we couldn't resist the view from the lake so we drove around to get this shot. Wasn't it worth it. How Beautiful is this and the turquoise building to the right I believe is The Palace. The inside is as beautiful if not more than the outside. PS. Promise no more pics from Malaysia. Promise! And Double Promise! Back to functioning life now!!

Hope you enjoyed this post.
Enjoy your weekend.
Take Care.
