NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S @ 14 mm, 1/125 sec at f/8, ISO 64

We had a lengthy stopover in Abu Dhabi on our way to Milan (almost 9 hours). So after we’d both had a shower and changed into more climate appropriate clothes in the very nice Etihad Business Lounge (a sprawling new lounge over three levels) and taken some refreshments. We made our way through immigration and out of the airport and grabbed a taxi to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

For others thinking of doing the same thing the taxi fare was about 50-60 AED (~$25 AUD) each way and took less than 30 minutes. Plan for at least an hour at the Mosque (and entry is free)

My wife and I are off on a month long adventure in Europe – without the kids!! (who all go off on their own separate European adventures immediately after we get back)

We’re flying Etihad for the first time so first stop (after a 14 hour flight) is Abu Dhabi

Here we’ve just arrived at Zayed International Airport for our stopover before heading to Milan in Italy

Woke up to this glorious morning on the weekend. Alas I wasn’t at some epic seaside location to put it to good use…

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.

Getting a dog to stay still long enough to shoot with razor thin depth of field is another matter 🙂
