Turkey: Esrefoglu Mosque, Beysehir

Esrefoglu Mosque, Beysehir, originally uploaded by ken mohnkern.

"The interior of this mosque is all wood. The roof was built with an opening to allow water and snow to collect in the pit in the floor and keep the humidity at a wood-favoring level. Imagine worshiping in here as the snow falls in. I can barely imagine how beautiful it must have been."
