"This is one very challenging mission. The sun was way up high so finding a good foreground is very tricky. I went to three different mosques in Jumeirah to find the best one to frame the sun. . While shooting, there was this lonely bird who stood on top of the tip of the crescent staring at the sun like its wondering what is happening. Really strange but I am glad to have manage to capture this moment." - @jruzz Image Credit: Gulf News reader Jhon Ruzz Merca
