Here's a beautiful landscape with shades of white and blue. Goswami said: "I clicked this interesting shot at the beach where the canal meets the sea. The ship docked afar merged with the sand to seem as if it were a ship on land! The seagulls were a pleasant addition to the scene with their usual squabbles and noisy bickering."

Goswami added: "Winters in the UAE bring some beautiful opportunities for photography enthusiasts like me. The skies are overcast with rays of gentle sunshine peeking through. I clicked this photograph at the top of the Viewing Deck Park Summit at Jebel Jais, which is at an elevation of 1,415m. It was an hour trek to reach the peak but the sights were breathtaking."
