The Baiturrahman Grand Mosque is a classic icon of the City of Banda Aceh, even Aceh. Visitors from outside Aceh, it doesn't feel legal to be in Banda Aceh if you haven't taken a photo at the Great Mosque of Banda Aceh.

So far, many visitors or photographers perpetuate the electric umbrella in the courtyard of the Great Mosque of Banda Aceh. I have also taken several pictures of the large electric umbrella. Unfortunately, in the last few visits, the giant umbrella has always been closed.

One morning, my two colleagues and I entered the courtyard of the Great Mosque from the back gate. There are several tourists from Malaysia who pray at dawn there.

I recognized them by the language and accent they used. After the prayer, I saw the sky above the Baiturrahman Great Mosque looks very beautiful.

I immediately took pictures with the Iphone 7 Plus camera from several angles. The sky glowed a bluish yellow.

From the top of the umbrella that was still closed, one could still see the point of the moon with its light getting weaker. Soon, the sun will come with its warm rays.

A new day will begin soon.[]

Hari Bari Bermula di Masjid Raya Banda Aceh

Masjid Raya Baiturrahman merupakan ikon klasik Kota Banda Aceh, bakan Aceh. Pengunjung dari luar Aceh, rasanya belum sah berada di Banda Aceh kalau belum berfoto di Masjid Raya Banda Aceh.

Selama ini, banyak pengunjung atau fotigrager mengabadikan payung elektrik di halaman Masjid Raya Banda Aceh. Saya juga pernah beberapa memotret payung elektrikberukuran besar tersebut.

Sayangnya, dalam beberapa kunjungan terakhri, payung raksasa itu selalu dalam keadaan tertutup.

Suatu pagi, saya dan dua rekan masuk ke halaman Masjid Raya dari gerbang belakang.
Ada beberapa wisatawan dari Malaysia yang salat Subuh di sana. Saya mengenali mereka dari bahasa dan logat yang mereka gunakan.

Seusai salat, saya lihat langit di atas Masjid Raya Baiturrahman terlihat indah sekali. Saya langsung memotret dengan kamera Iphone 7 Plus dari beberapa sudut.

Langit bersinar kuning kebiruan. Dari puncak payung yang masih tertutup, masih terlihat titik bulan dengan cahayanya yang semakin melemah.

Sebentar lagi, matahari akan hadir dengan sinarnya yang hangat. Hari baru akan segera dimulai.[]
