The eight storey (86′) minaret of the Madina Mosque stands tall over the Danforth just east of downtown Toronto. The minaret will not be used as a call to prayer, but there is a spiral stairway as access to the top. It is also the first minaret in the city of Toronto.

Beautiful.
A beautiful minaret. You can get comments while those of us on blogger are denied.
Nice shot, I like the reflective windows.
I like the reflective glass and the arches. Nice!
Nice composition. I think your image would be even better if you boosted the highlights a bit.
Thanks for the visit Lesley. I don’t know anything about MAC software but your editor probably has a levels command. Try moving the white point (to the left).
Beautiful, Lesley!

Interesting, Lesley. There’s a mosque just north of Toronto in Markham too. In fact, I think there may be two.
Interesting reflection Lesley.
The minaret is such a gorgeous design! Fascinating!
Nice piece of architecture ! Very elegant building, in my taste… The reflection are quite unexpected, too…
This mosque is a lovely blend of traditional and modern.
I rather enjoy that shot, Lesley.
when i see the top of that mosque I ask myself if the man knows the capacity we have to be nice or bad person.
congrats and thanks for sharing, lesley.
have a great weekend,
Nice minaret. I would love to explore climbing up the top, if open to public. I think this would be more difficult than climbing the light house.
Awesome shot….most impressive. I bet you would be able to hear the call to prayer for miles and miles if the bells were to ring.
