Columns in the courtyard of Abu Dhabi's Grand Mosque

Its stone floor is polished smooth as a mirror.

    I love the photo light and sharpness, it is clear that the harmony of the photo is stunning, as you say floor stands.
    I love to see you after so long I've been working.
    Greetings

    It's a fine angle! I like the way the columns are painted. It surely seems unusual to me for a mosque.
    Have a nice weekend, Doug!.

    It all looks delightfully cool and majestic ... and fits the music I'm listening to ...by the "Afro Celts"; you might want to look them up sometime Doug...
