had a chance to visit the GRAND MOSQUE in Abu Dhabi (Not complete yet, but open to visitors and for the prayers). Here you can see some of the pictures that I took.I took all the pictures with Canon 5D and the Canon 17-40 mm f/4L lens. I must say that at times, specially at the main central hall, I felt that even 17 mm was not wide enough to capture the grandure of the mosque.
A brief history of the mosque;

The main dome’s outer shell is 32.8 metres in diameter and stands at a height of 70 metres from the inside and 85 metres from the outside. “
