Copper lanterns glow in Marrakech mosque nave

Copper-toned light spills from hanging brass lanterns, warming the stone floor of a Marrakech mosque nave. Arched columns rise in a rhythmic line, their surfaces textured with age and soft shadows. The low angle view highlights the height of the vaulted ceiling where window light falls through, creating beams that cut across the dim interior. Wooden prayer mats lie folded neatly against the walls, their red and blue patterns muted in the candle glow. Flickering flames of oil lamps rest against the intricate plasterwork. One shadow stretches long across the tiled ground, defined by the edge of a heavy iron stand.
