Got these images via email, subhanallah! . This mosque is truly beautiful.  I think the photographer overdid it with the fisheye lens but at the same time it could have been the only lens wide enough to cover such a huge masjid!

From Wiki,
Sheikh Zayed Mosque is the third largest mosque in the world [1], located in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan the founder and the first President of the United Arab Emirates, who is also buried there. The Mosque was officially opened in the month of Ramadan in 2007. It is located in a large area between two bridges, Mussafah Bridge and Maqta bridge.

With so many millions pumped into building such a splended place of worship, I sincerely hope their salaah congregations & deen work is just as beautiful and larger then life.
