About this image
A sweeping view of an ornate mosque courtyard at dusk -- the sky transitioning from deep purple to black overhead, a golden crescent moon and star emblem centered above the main dome, decorative Islamic geometric patterns in emerald and gold adorning the archways. Rows of lit oil lamps along the courtyard floor create warm reflections, festive green and gold bunting adds to the celebratory atmosphere, and rich cinematic lighting casts deep, beautiful shadows across the stone. This courtyard scene evokes the atmosphere of the great mosque courtyards of the Islamic world -- the sahn (open courtyard) of the Grand Mosque of Mecca, of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul, of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus -- where generations of believers have gathered at the greatest moments of the Islamic year. The crescent and star emblem above the dome is one of the most recognizable symbols of Islam, though its exact origin is debated by scholars. What is certain is that it has become inseparable from the visual identity of the faith worldwide. The oil lamps along the courtyard floor recall the tradition of lighting the mosque and its surroundings for great celebrations. In the early centuries of Islam, mosque courtyards were lit by oil lamps during the nights of Ramadan and Eid, their flames reflected in the pools and fountains of the ablution areas. This festive mosque courtyard wallpaper captures the beauty and atmosphere of those great occasions. Free HD download.
