The mosques here are amazing. This is one of the bigger ones in Ras al Khaimah. There are literally hundreds of them - I counted 14 within hearing distance of my house. And all of them sing the call to prayer at 4:30 in the morning... it's going to be strange to hear church bells if I move away from here. I have so much more to learn from this culture..

Brilliant pic!

Have you considered straigtening out the perspective with the 'skew' tool ?

Stunning. Some of those buildings are works of art.

nice brickwork, but your photo is a little dissapointing, I expect way better of you, could you not get a better perspective?

Guy - it was a crappy time of day and i couldn't get close enough to the mosque. Need to have another go

In Photoshop, select everything. (Ctrl A)

Right-click inside the selection and select 'Skew'

8 little drag boxes will appear around the border.

or

Select everything and hold ALT for the boxes to appear.

Play. (In this case, click and drag the top right box upwards untill the mortar lines in the brickwork are all nice and parralel).

Hope it helps!
