We visited the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi yesterday. I have been here before, nine years ago. What an utterly different experience it was! Back then, there was no registration, no visitor center (with StarBucks and McDonald's, basically a full-fledged mall below the mosque!), and no people. Well, at least not that many! It's Ramadan, so a lot of visitors are expected, but the sheer amount of tourists really shocked me. That being said: This place is still amazing and worth a visit, even with that many people around. The guy in the last picture asked me to take his photo, because I had a proper camera. He is from Pakistan and his friend Sajawl (you can see him on the left, grinning) gave me his WhatsApp contact, so I can send them the images.

We went to the top of the Burj Khalifa yesterday. Again, I did the same nine years ago, but since then they added one more level (well three, 152-154) for visitors – with an open (!), outside balcony, which means you do not have to photograph through glass. Unfortunately visibility wasn't good, but the experience was still pretty great. We spent at least three hours at the top – there is also a very nice all you can eat/drink buffet included. Choosing the highest level also affords you the advantage of skipping all the lines going up (and down!). I'd say the (fairly high) admission price is worth it. Would recommend.

Made it back home! Still got lots of images to go through, so I will be posting some of them over the next couple of days – before going back to the regular ol'. The images above are from our visit to Burj Khalifa the other day. Make sure to also check the time lapse video I made.

My parents. I took this photo on our way back to the hotel on the last night of our trip. Not sure I mentioned any details about going to Dubai, besides it being my mom's 70th birthday. I went with my parents and my sister. This has been the first trip of just us four in probably 25 years and it was great. This marks a quarter of the 366 project done! Time is flying. It will be another 60 days until this becomes the second longest streak on this blog. I enjoy posting here immensely, even though I did not produce any new (shareworthy) images in the last couple of days due to being sick. Anyways, looking forward to getting back to the regular old photos from home and around the neighborhood tomorrow.

Painting with watercolors. I am very glad my daughters can play and do things together for very long periods of time. There is the inevitable clash after a couple of hours, but I guess that is expected, especially at that age. Haven't left the house since last Wednesday, but I am finally starting to feel at bit better.

The girls wanted to go for a walk with their dolls yesterday afternoon. Often I have to convince them to go outside, so this was very refreshing! 🙂 Once we are out the door everything is great, but the getting there can sometimes be… a bit exhausting. Anyways! The sun was out, so strolling through the neigbourhood we went. This is when I took the image above.

xsv (mode: mixed)@florianziegler f1,8 DoF on FF equivalent, right? Love that look.
@tffmh Yep. I love that lens, should take it out more often. It’s a bit close for what I am used to.
