This old dhow, now converted to diesel power, strikes a silhouette against the setting sun in the shallows of Abu Dhabi.

Panorama of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.
Made out of four exposures using Lightroom. Unfortunately one image was slightly out of focus :-(
A sunset view from the Oasis of Dignity of Sheikh Zayad Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is a masterpiece of modern Islamic architecture and design. Conceived by Sheikh Zayed, and marking his final resting-place, the mosque is one of the few in the region open to non-Muslims. More than 90,000 tonnes of pure white marble from the Republic of Macedonia were used in its construction. In the interior, three steel, gold, brass and crystal chandeliers fill the main prayer hall with shafts of primary-coloured light. The chandeliers, the largest of which weighs approximately 11 tonnes, sparkle with Swarovski crystals and shine with 40kg of 24-karat galvanised gold. One of the prayer hall's most impressive features is the world's largest loomed carpet fashioned from Iranian cotton and New Zealand wool and flown in from Mashad, Iran, on two aeroplanes – Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi, United Arabic Emirates
