Yep, that's the one. It was about 200m up the road from the Tropicana Garden Palms, where I was staying on a work trip. I went up the road in the middle of the night to photograph the mosque on my own, much to the puzzlement of my colleagues.

I've got a "thing" for mosques. It's the main (only?) reason i wan't to visit Istanbul if I'm honest. And I agree, it isn't a fantastic design - far too chunky for my liking. I prefer slender cylindrical minarets and classical domes.

The beach in Jamaica

Much prefer Antigua to Jamaica, lot safer and the weather was a lot better.

Lopez, the pic you posted from the mountains near Como, absolutely stunning in real life. My works suppliers have a factory there and the view is magnificant, there is a really cool little restaurant round there and you can see everything, there is also a monastry that sell what can only be described as aniseed rocket fuel. Have to go back at some point.
