The Sheik Zayed Mosque

So many things in life are over-hyped.  The greatest this, the biggest that....

But I must say that Abu Dhabi's Sheik Zayed Mosque was a showstopper.

I guess I could give you numbers to try to convey the size of this mosque, but  it wouldn't do justice to the beauty and serenity of the place.  So just sit back, relax and scroll along and enjoy....

Didn't realize this would turn into a sorta selfie...

The exquisite windows, and the views beyond, intrigued me.

Mosaic of semi-precious stones covered many of surfaces- vertical and horizontal.
