Zentangle Challenge # 109

When I saw this week's challenge, I was excited since I have been photographing some ancient monuments / architectural building for the last several year with close up of the patterned pillars ,walls , doors and windows on these beautiful building . So I picked up for my experiment , one photo ( see below) which is a  close up of a part of the famous Qutab Minar in Delhi for my experiment for creating the tile

This was a hard one for me . I could neither create the beautiful patterns on it nor get the shading right to highlight the curves and folds of the minaret .Even the perspective is skewed :-(

Not withstanding my inability ,  here is my response to this week's challenge.

Incidentally Qutub Minar is the tallest  minaret ( tower) in India, and is located in our capital city of Delhi . It is an ancient Islamic Monument made of fluted red sandstone and is covered with intricate carvings and inscribed with arabic inscription / verses from the Koran and has been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is is 72.5 metres tall , and has a base diameter of 14.3 metres. It's construction was started by Qutab-ud-din-Aibak in the 12th century.
