Sunset prayer

November 19th, 2008

While visiting the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, I noticed this building to the side of the main mosque. I’m not sure what purpose does it serve (if anyone knows, leave a comment) and it almost looks like a smaller mosque where more people could go and pray. The building looks great at sunset because the warm yellow light reflects through the windows on the marble floor.

Green algae

When winter (well a sort of winter with 25 degrees Celsius…) is coming to Dubai the sea is getting a lot more interesting, with nice waves, some clouds and lovely sunsets. The algae on all the rocks turn a bright green perfect for an HDR shot.

This week: Bright red trash in Dubai

Bright red trash

Dubai is not the most environmentally friendly place and there are a lot of things getting washed up on the beach. Today I found this discarded cool-box in the sand and I couldn’t resist not taking a photo a la chromasia.
