I went back this morning because the light was so much better. My previous shots are here.

The "Some Like It Hot" hotel is the Del Coronado in San Diego. Dale... it wasn't a mosque, it was a hotel built in the Victorian age and it had arabic influences with the keyhole arches and onion domes and crescent moons, etc. You can follow the link on the first batch to a history page. Nowadays it's not a hotel, it's part of Univ of Tampa.
