“It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write"

Casablanca, Morocco

Found this picture that one of my friends took in Morocco... The tower is the minaret of the Hassan II mosque in Casablanca. I have heard that the laser points in the direction of Mecca. Perhaps Veritas knows something more about the details...

I got to tour the inside, and it is incredible... there are no words. I was astounded by the size, beauty and the ideas in that structure.

    This is beautiful! It reminds me of the story from the Suitcase collection, quite a bit actually!! I like it!

    Subhan'Allah. What a lovely picture. (: There's not too much more to say. You're right that the lasers point towards Mecca, the direction towards which we pray. You're lucky you were there during Ramadan (:
