Looking back through my travel photos I see that in many places we visited there was, on our agendas, an Abbey, Cathedral, Chapel, Church, Convent, Monastery, Mosque, Pagoda, Synagogue, Temple or other place of worship. As we travel along the road I often take snaps of God's houses we pass by. These buildings range from ordinary to ostentatious.
For the Blogging from A to Z April 2024 Blogging Challenge my theme is Gods' Houses. During April I invite you to join me for an online tour of Gods' Houses from my digital albums.
When we are driving along the roads in countries with Islamic populations the first thing we see are the Minarets of their Mosques reaching to the sky. For this post I am mostly sharing building exteriors, interior images are shared in other posts.
My images, as they may have been taken from tour buses, could be unclear or crooked.
When visiting a mosque women must remove their shoes, dress modestly and cover their heads.
