Mosul Airfield Mosque

Sorry about the late post. Today was hectic, not busy, just hectic. I was hosting a visitor and a lot happened in a short period (more on that tomorrow). I started this post, but couldn't find time to finish it until today, 26 Feb. Uploading pictures is harder than it looks.

The three pictures below are of the airfield mosque down the street from where I've been coming to work for the past 5 months. It belonged to the civilian airfield in Mosul prior to 2003. It has since been closed.

The photograph below was taken from across the street.



This one was taken from within the mosque baha (Arabic for "open space" or "courtyard")



This one is of the entrance. Notice the English, "The Airfield Mosque" (left to right) , and the Arabic (from right to left).
