Ramadan Kareem

It is the Holy Month of Ramadan. A month of fasting, celebrations and a focus on directing the thoughts and spirit to Allah. The title photo above was taken at a mosque near our home. I have always loved driving past the mosque during prayer time and seeing the many shoes on the steps of the mosque. A symbol, to me, of people leaving part of outside world behind and going into prayer. Finally, I got a picture of the shoes on the steps. I have wanted this photo for such a long time.
