I visited this mosque like every other tourist when I visited the United Arab Emirates. I went during the day and it was quite amazing. Photography wasn't the goal of this trip so I wasn't timing my shots for perfect photos. A few days later, while I was still in the UAE, I came across some sunset photos of the mosque and was blown away how gorgeous it gets. I made it a point to go back around sunset and took this shot.
I now read about the mosque in Wikipedia and see some photos there. Yours is more impressive.
"For two years running, it was voted the world's second favorite landmark by TripAdvisor."
Beautiful light at a great architectural work.
Thanks! It is a great place to make photos! I have a few more in my profile if you want to see more.
This is a gorgeous picture. I like the colour contrast as well as the strict geometry, the symmetry, the repeating patterns. Very nice composition, very much worth the effort of coming back and waiting for the right moment.
Well done :-)
Thank you so much!!
The architect would be proud to have a copy of that picture.
haha still waiting for him to get in touch :)
