Alone at dawn during Ramadan, I stood before the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque—an unplanned moment of stillness and scale. The soft blue light, which shifts with the moon, met golden pathway lights under rare drifting clouds. Using HDR and a tilt-shift lens, I preserved the structure’s perfect geometry and subtle tones. This image, captured with media access before the public arrived, reflects the harmony of light, architecture, and chance.
