Heritage Photo Contest – The Lucky Ten!

About a week and a half ago, I launched a Heritage Photo Contest in my blog. It was launched as part of a post describing my experience using the GPSmyCity self-guided city walk app. GPSmyCity apps will be given to ten (10) participants who submit interesting heritage photos from their travels [CONTEST IS CLOSED]

Well, it’s time to reveal those 10 interesting heritage photos, and the individuals behind the lens who took the photos 🙂

10. The Blue Mosque, Istanbul, Turkey

Anupriya writes, “The library was incorporated in 1895 and it stands regally amongst the houses. It’s a testimony to the quest of knowledge!”

8. Menara Kudus (Kudus Tower Mosque), Central Java, Indonesia

Bart writes, “The tower was built in 16^th century as the minaret of the mosque by Sunan Kudus who spread Islam in Java. Though it is part of the mosque, the minaret architecture itself is influenced by Buddhist-Hindu style”

7. Santh Estifun Church (Church of North India), Assam, India
