Persian Islamic architecture of the Sheikh Lotfallah mosque of Isfahan

The beautiful curves and mosaic works of the dome and iwan entrance gate of the 17th century Safavid era Sheikh Lotfallah mosque of Isfahan in central Iran, lit gently by the warm tones of the golden hour of the afternoon.
The UNESCO world heritage building features an ingenious coloring technique, with plain bricks on the dome appearing to be a golden or yellow coloring, whereas it is only the turquoise, white and dark tones which are colored onto the otherwise plain bricks of the top
