The Gelf

I would like to start my photo blog with pictures shot in Abu Dhabi and the whereabouts. This first post will be about the beautiful Sheikh Zayed Mosque.

I used a Nikon D3100 DSLR with a 18-55mm lens to shoot these photos. Some amount of post photo processing has been carried out on these images.

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, built in honor of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan. His final resting place is located on the grounds beside the same mosque.
















Beautiful engravings on Marble.


















A thousand pillars of the Mosque in color.

Unto Infinity.


















The dome, as seen from the inside.












The beautiful sky enticing people to the place of worship.


















A symmetrical reflection of the evening sky.












The mosque at a distance, as seen from the Shangri-La.
