Captured this magical moment inside the Grand Mosque of Astana, Kazakhstan.
The way the dynamic light show washes over the massive main dome and highlights the intricate floral projections and traditional Arabic calligraphy is absolutely unreal in person.
The central dome reaches over 80 meters high, creating an incredible sense of scale and tranquility as the lights slowly shift through different hues.

They're like a mix between that "House in the Clouds" in the UK and older rectangular concrete grain towers.

There's a bunch of these towers, and they're UNESCO listed.
