Walking to Putrajaya's 'iron' mosque close to dusk



Journey was continued to Putrajaya where we parked nearby the Istana Keadilan, palace of justice.


Right in front of it is this huge arch.


Going past it one can see the Istana Kehakiman fitted inside its framework.


Going on to the other side, one approaches the famous structure fondly known as Masjid Besi, the iron mosque.


This is because it was made mainly out of iron beams and such.


As it is I arrived in Putrajaya at almost dusk.


The sun's setting path happened to almost coincide with the direction of prayers for Muslims at least at this part of the world during this time of the year. So as one walked towards the front part of the mosque, one actually faces the sun.


This mosque has many openings for the sun to shine through. So it was an amazing sight as one walked in closer and closer to the front...
