The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع ٱلشَّيْخ زَايِد ٱلْكَبِيْر Jāmiʿ Aš-Šaykh Zāyid Al-Kabīr) is a mosque located in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. It is the country's largest mosque, and is the key place of worship for daily Islamic prayers. There is a smaller replica of this mosque in Surakarta, a city in Indonesia. The late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan built this mosque to convey historic consequence and to embody the Islamic message of peace, tolerance and diversity.
The Grand Mosque was constructed between 1994 and 2007 and was inaugurated in December 2007. The building complex measures approximately 290 by 420 m (950 by 1,380 ft), covering an area of more than 12 hectares (30 acres), excluding exterior landscaping and vehicle parking. The main axis of the building is rotated about 12° south of true west, aligning it in the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The project was launched by the late president of the U.A.E., Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who wanted to establish a structure that would unite the cultural diversity of the Islamic world with the historical and modern values of architecture and art. In 2004, Sheikh Zayed died and was buried in the courtyard of the mosque.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center (SZGMC) offices are located in the west minarets. SZGMC manages the day-to-day operations and serves as a center of learning and discovery through its educational cultural activities and visitor programs. The library, located in the northeast minaret, serves the community with classic books and publications addressing a range of Islamic subjects: sciences, civilization, calligraphy, the arts, and coins, including some rare publications. The collection comprises material in a broad range of languages, including Arabic, English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Korean. For two years running, it was voted the world's second favourite landmark by TripAdvisor.
The Grand Mosque has been a significant destination for visiting foreign leaders during official state visits to the UAE. Notable visitors include Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The museum presents the story of Modiin from the time of the Hasmonean Family till the establishment of the modern city.
Many archeological artifacts have been found in the Modi'in area, revealing its rich and glorious historical past.

Modi'in is an Israeli city located in central Israel, about 30 kilometres west of Jerusalem. The population about 100 thousend.
The Modi Khola Valley, located in the heart of the Annapurna Conservation Area in Nepal is a supremely cool place. After you leave the village of Deurali at 3200m, you head down into this spectacular place, with peaks soaring on all sides. As you walk up the valley, following the path of the river, Gangapurna (7455m) lies visible at the head, with Machhapuchare Base Camp your destination.
This shot was taken after a light snowfall in the early morning light. The sun had only just started rising over the peaks, leaving most of the valley in shadow.
This was a very challenging shot to process and I am still not 100% convinced I have it down pat. It is a blend of two exposures, with areas manually painted in using masking in Photoshop. After many hours of work, scrapping and restarting, I settled on this. Thoughts?

One of the highlights at Dublin in 2015, Air India 747-400 VT-ESO as "Air India One " with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on board, on a very brief half day state visit to Ireland.
Originating in New Dehli via Dublin enroute to the United Nations, it was a real treat as Air India does not serve Dublin nor does the 747 these days either.
Both arrival & departure during daylight hours & tipped off well in advance ensured everybody got their photos & really was an " Indian summer ".
Delivered to Air India in December 1993 & named Khajuraho.
A massive phytoplankton bloom stained the waters of the Atlantic Ocean north of Iceland with brilliant jewel tones in late summer, 2014. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image on August 2. Huge colonies of the floating, plant-like organisms create swirls of green, teal and turquoise and cover over 80% of the visible ocean off the northeast coast of Iceland.
Marine phytoplankton require just the right amount of sunlight, dissolved nutrients and water temperatures which are not too hot, nor too cold to spark explosive reproduction and result in blooms which can cover hundreds of square kilometers. Phytoplankton form the base of the marine food chain, and are a rich food source for zooplankton, fish and other marine species. Some species, however, can deplete the water of oxygen and may become toxic to marine life.
