This is going to be my first time this year to participate in the weekly photo challenge, after being on hiatus for several months. Very timely for me, “UP” is this week’s theme. Heads UP for a new start!
***********************************
I am sharing the photographs I took when we visited Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque In Abu Dhabi. The chandeliers hanging on the ceiling are just amazing.
This ornament is considered the world’s largest swarovski chandelier.
