Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (Arabic: جامع الشيخ زايد الكبير) is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates.[1] The largest mosque in the country, it is the key place of worship for Friday gathering and Eid prayers. During Eid it may be visited by more than 41,000 people.[1]
The Grand Mosque was constructed between 1996 and 2007.[2] It was designed by Syrian architect Yousef Abdelky.[3] The building complex measures approximately 290 m (960 ft) by 420 m (1,380 ft), covering an area of more than 12 hectares (30 acres), excluding exterior landscaping and vehicle parking.
The project was launched by the late president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), 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.[5] His final resting place is located on the grounds adjacent to the complex. [...].
The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by Persian, Mughal, and the Alexandrian Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque in Egypt, also the Indo-Islamic mosque architecture, particularly the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan being direct influences. The dome layout and floorplan of the mosque was inspired by the Badshahi Mosque. Its archways are quintessentially Moorish and its minarets classically Arab.
Under lead contractor Impregilo (Italy), more than 3,000 workers and 38 sub-contracting companies took part in its construction. Natural materials were chosen for much of its design and construction due to their long-lasting qualities, including marble stone, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics. Artisans and materials came from many countries including India, Italy, Germany, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, Pakistan, Malaysia, Iran, China, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Republic of Macedonia and United Arab Emirates.

As some of you may have guessed I have been away in France including following 3 stages of this years Tour de France. There were 3 of us from a local cycling Club taking part in the trip. We were based in the countryside near Troyes about 100 miles SE of Paris. The first stage we viewed was another 100 miles SE on the first mountain finish in the Vosges mountains on 5th July. We parked the car about 10 miles short of our planned viewpoint and then rode our cycles mainly uphill on the Race route. Cars are excluded from the route the day before but cycling is allowed until about 3 hours before the race arrives. I had scouted out a location with Google Street View and also the Photographers Ephemeris to get the sun direction when the race was due to arrive.
This was the first serious mountain finish I had viewed and the reward was that the steep climbing had separated the race peloton into many small groups rather than it all passing by in seconds. The temperatures must also have badly affected some riders with a humid heat wave and temperatures of 34C (93F) The shot is taken from immediately above a sharp hairpin bend taken handheld with a Sony A550 with a Sigma 28-200mm zoom at 55mm.
Editing was first in RAW. Then on a duplicate layer I used Topaz Adjust for more detail. Then Topaz Lens Effects for a zoom effect selectively removed by applying on a duplicate layer with a layer mask.

The Zuari River (Konkani: जुवारी Zuvari, pronounced [zuwəːriː]) is the largest river in the state of Goa, India. It is a tidal river with a total length of 34 kilometres. The Zuari originates at Hemad-Barshem in the Western Ghats. The Zuari is also referred to as the Aghanashani in the interior regions. It flows in the southern-western direction through the talukas of Tiswadi, Ponda, Mormugao, Salcete, Sanguem and Quepem.
The Zuari and Mandovi Rivers form the backbone of Goa's agricultural industry. The Cumbarjuem Canal linking the two rivers has enabled ships navigate to the interior regions to the iron ore mines. The waters of the Mandovi and Zuari both flush out into the Arabian Sea at Cabo Aguada, a common point forming the Mormugao harbour. The port city of Vasco da Gama lies on the mouth of the Zuari River.

A View to and from the Workshops Thesis: Concerning communities that once occupied and helped form the urban fabric of SO36. Recognising the increase in rent and demand for affordable spaces to sell, live and work within Berlin. Due to the reunification of the city a huge amount of investment has pushed out communities that characterised this area. Thesis seeks to identify a medium in which these can be sustained by supporting young business and migrates. Getting more people into the work force. Identifying the centre of this and occupying space that could be utilised. Through the programme of U-Bahn station, workshops, market. j.orchard@hotmail.co.uk

The once strong castle of Hrothingas has fallen into decline. After the castle lost it's defensive function when gunpowder was invented it was deserted, and part of the walls were taken down to use the stone for something else. Now people have returned to the castle and have repaired part of it to make it livable again. The church has regained it's function and a small village is growing in an around the ruins.
Finally stock of those rare parts were available locally, been refreshing the bricklink page daily for them. The time since the first render to its completion took 14 months, which made this one of my sweetest builds.
This car in this particular setup is my favourite car in my favourite most awesome anime. It was heavily modified for a death race against Shinigami's R32 - easily one of the best races of Initial D.
Thanks for viewing!

Lady Allen’s 1950s mantra, ‘better a broken bone than a broken spirit,’ The urban center of Berlin, capital of Germany takes its name from a West Slavic word meaning 'river rake', or swamp. The previously know as a swamp city is geographically situated on top of glacial valley, making it vulnerable to the moving level of the water table. To overcome this problem the authority has made a groundwater-monitoring network, which functioned to regulate and monitor the movement of the water table. This is exhibited by the pink and blue pipe, scattered all over the city, with Berlin groundwater is rising and expected to go up by 3m for each hundred years, the number of parasite pipes is increasing each year. The groundwater-monitoring network multiplies from 29 in 1870 To 189 in 2007. These pipes multiply from time to time, consuming public spaces without giving back to the society. I believe the system calls for some remodeling, rethinking and redesign. An intervention is needed. Berlin on the other hand, also recognized for its open-arms policy. For many years Berlin has been accepting immigrant from all over the world and have been a home for many refugees. The Selected site is Kottbusser Tor, Friedrich- Kruezberg, is one of the most dense and diverse areas in Berlin. However , there has been a vigourous discussion in the German press about whether multiculturalism in Germany has, as Chancellor Merkel put it, ‘utterly failed‘. This area is one of the area that is facing a social down fall, an awkward social segregation among its people. The Chancellor does not mean that immigrants were unwanted, but rather that they had not been sufficiently integrated. It is true, the kids who live in this immigrant housing blocks, speak heavily accented German, and go to schools which are almost exclusively Turkish and/or Lebanese. I believe this too , is in desparate need of an intervention. Attempting to solve both macro and micro issue, I believe a groundwater monitoring network can be rethought as a social catalyst. The copious amount of Berlin groundwater, particularly in the area of Kottbusser Tor furthered assure that instead of building parasites, this mesh of pipes can be treated as a medium that invigorates social cohesion in an area where divergence is manifest. To conclude my proposal will explore the potential of water as an adhesive to fuse the ethnic mosaic. Thus, what is the more upright way to solve a puzzle? If not to play. A fun social catalyst, Wasseraum : A Water Playground “Play”, as Huizinga once said, “is a serious matter”.
