Really, really nice work. I wish there were a group for folks interested in
Islamic architecture (that's what I like to build), and it's great to see
someone do such fine work based on a beautiful landmark like that. I agree,
intricate glazed-tile mosaic work (I think that's the method in the Dome of the
Rock) is well-nigh impossible to duplicate with any degree of accuracy in Lego,
but you've done a worthy job of interpreting it.
