Hassan II

Posted on October 6, 2012 | 10 Comments

In 1980, King Hassan II noted the following during his birthday celebration.

“I wish Casablanca to be endowed with a large, fine building of which it can be proud until the end of time… I want to build this mosque on the water, because God’s throne is on the water. Therefore, the faithful who go there to pray, to praise the creator on firm soil, can contemplate God’s sky and ocean”

I shot these with a Tokina 12-24 Wide Angle lens.

    I was in Morocco this summer, not Casalanca though. Great shots! I’d also recommend Essaouira if you’re still in Morocco 🙂 http://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2189952

    Wonderful photos throughout your blog, Kurt. Here though, Rick Blaine would be so surprised (and enchanted) at the color.
