The sheiks of the Emirates might be hurting now with low oil prices, but lots of money has been spent. One of the most sumptuous projects was the great mosque in Abu Dhabi, a modern mosque that rivals in scale the Moghul mosques of India and Pakistan. This picture was taken just after evening prayers during a visit there in 2012. There was a soft light in the sky and the mosque’s lights came on, reflecting in the pools.
