T is for Tilburg Places of Worship, Netherlands

If you missed my "S" post, it was also about a place of worship.

For letter "T" --

NL-1921426, Sender: Joannes
Sent: 17 June 2013 from Tilburg, The Netherlands
Received: 29 June 2013, Traveled 10,431 km in 11 days

The sender of the postcard was very nice to give me a detailed description. He wrote:

On this card you can see almost all places of worship in Tilburg. The Hasselt Chapel (1540); a lamp in the Suleymani Mosque, St. Dionysius Church by daylight and festively illuminated; Jewish synagogue, Trappist monastery and brewery "de Koningshoeven"; former Hasselt church, now cultural center, St. Joseph Church with Sacred Heart statue in front at "de Huevel, the mosque, this time from outside the Norbertijnerpoort in Goirkestraat, again Hasselt chapel synagogue and mosque, the Cenacle former convent, the water tower in the Bredaseweg = road to Breda.

A bit of a challenge, but with persistence, you'll be able to identify which is which!

J is for Jame'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, Brunei

For letter "J" --


Jame'Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque is the largest mosque in Brunei. It is know locally as Kiarong Mosque. Impressive on the outside with its golden domes, I've read that the interior is even more jaw-dropping.

This is another postcard that I couldn't caption. It was hand-delivered by the same friend who gave me the Cambodia postcards that were featured for letters A, B, and C.
