Mezquita Sheikh Zayed en Abu Dhabi
Bandera de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos
Construcción 1998 - 2007
La mezquita Sheikh Zayed es una mezquita situada en Abu Dabi, en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos. Su nombre hace honor al primer presidente de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Zayed ibn Sultán Al Nahayan, que falleció en 2004. El proyecto se inició en 1998 por iniciativa del propio Sheikh Zayed. La construcción terminó en 2007, después de siete años de construcción y un coste de 600 millones de dólares. Es la mayor mezquita de los EAU y la tercera más grande del mundo. Se extiende en una superficie de 20.000 m2. La mezquita cuenta con cuatro minaretes de una altura de 107 metros y con 82 bóvedas de siete tamaños diferentes. Las bóvedas de mayor tamaño se construyeron con panales de hormigón prefabricados y fijados entre ellos, mientras que las bóvedas más pequeñas se construyeron in situ de fibra de vidrio. La bóveda más importante tiene una altura de 80 metros y un diámetro de 36 m.

just a little redhead tidbit for ya . . . .
" Only an estimated 4 percent of the population is born with red hair (only 2% in the U.S.), due to the recessive nature of the gene that produces it. That gene, the melanocortin 1 receptor or MC1R , was discovered on the 16th of the 23 human chromosome pairs in 1995 by Jonathan Rees, a professor at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland "
I actually learned about the gene only about 8 years ago - LOL
& I've been a redhead since birth -1977
Never liked being a redhead until about 10 years ago
It hasn't always been easy
believe it or not -
Really started liking my red hair when I met Chris over 6 years ago : )

I didn't count them, and some sources say they are impossible to count.
Jain Temple at Ranakpur.
Before we entered, we took off our shoes and made sure were were not carrying any leather. We were instructed that although photos are allowed, we were not to point the camera towards the main shrines in center of the temple.
