Mesmerizing Pattern, by Masrur Ashraf
This is the beautiful pattern design I saw drawn on the inner side of a dome at the Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Ibn Battuta Mall showcases the journey Ibn Battuta, the famous traveler, took during his time. The Islamic design is a beautiful pattern that focuses on the center of the dome. You can also see the intricate designs, thus, making the whole design very mesmerizing.

Photograph Location: Dubai, The United Arab Emirates
Photographer: Masrur Ashraf (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia) Registered
An Indian national, Masrur Ashraf was born on the 12th June 1982, in the eastern city of Saudi Arabia – Dhahran. He has earned two masters degrees in Telecommunication Systems and Management & Marketing from DePaul University in USA and KFUPM in Saudi Arabia respectively. He is currently working as an Investment Promotion Coordinator in a semi-governmental institution. Masrur’s photographic journey started at an early age when he picked up his father’s vintage Canon AE-1 SLR camera and set out take numerous family pictures. Since then, Masrur’s photographic journey grew longer as he expanded his focus to other types of photography such as landscape, rural life, and travel. He also went a step ahead by purchasing the Canon EOS 7D camera and using it to hone his photographic skills. Masrur is extremely passionate about rural/countryside photography. Being from a village in the Indian state of West Bengal, he is blessed to have the opportunities to take numerous pictures of the beautiful landscape, the people and, most importantly, the life a countryside offers. His aim is to show the humbling beauty of an Indian village to people around the world. Photography is more than a hobby to Masrur. It does not cease to amaze him about the richness and dynamism of photography especially the fact that a picture can convey a message or many messages depending on a person’s perspectives. As the saying goes: a picture is worth a thousand words. To Masrur, that’s an understatement.

I like the pattern and how it increases harmonic in size almost like a sun flower. And how the blue complements the golden yellow.
Thank you Ola
