Question:

(Middle Eastern Architecture) I would like to find this building?


Many years ago I found a photo on the web of a building that I fell in love with. It is one of the most beautiful examples of Middle Eastern architecture I have ever seen. Unfortunately, I lost the link to the photo and have been fruitlessly searching for it ever since. I originally found it on Webshots, but a seach of that site has not turned up the photo. The picture showed a white Middle Eastern style building with a dome sitting in the middle of a large lake at dusk with a full moon overhead. If I remember the caption correctly it was some sort of a government building. I have done a search on major government buildings and prominent mosques without success. I have had good results with Yahoo! Answers so I was hoping someone might have an idea what building I am trying to locate.

Not the Taj Mahal (much smaller than that but with some similarities) and certainly not the Knesset (what a horrible block of concrete).

Not the Taj Mahal (much smaller than that but with some similarities) and certainly not the Knesset (what a horrible block of concrete). The picture you saw was probably a fantasy version of the Taj Mahal. Becasue of your reference to it possibly being a government building, I think it could be the knesset, the parliament , buliding in Jerusalem , ISRAEL.

If I am wrong...sorry. I hope you find the right answer.
