Grand Mosque - Abu Dhabi

I thought there was no hope for this pic until I converted it to Sepia! Just changed the whole feeling of it.

Taken at sunset at the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The Mosque is still under construction but when finished, will be able to hold up to 10 000 worshippers. It is pretty impressive with huge turrets and gorgeous blown glass windows.

    beautiful shot of the Zayed Mosque – I have been a few times recently - it is almost completely finished - amazing structure – the decorations inside not so much - thanks for the comments on my sand dune photo - you are very right the light can be brutal – I went back to the same spot a few days ago and couldnt get a single good shot—dave
