Last tuesday (December 2, 2014), was the 43rd UAE national day. My classmates and I went to Corniche (public beach here in Abu Dhabi) to shoot the airshow and the fireworks, the airshow was in the afternoon (3:00 pm) while the fireworks was in the evening (9:00 pm) , but unfortunately I didn't get the chance to capture the fireworks because my camera was in low battery already, how sad of that right?! But anyway i'm glad that I captured lots of photos during the airshow.
Trivia: National Day (Arabic: اليوم الوطني; Yawm al watani) is celebrated on December 2 each year in United Arab Emirates. It marks the UAE's formal nationalization from the British Protectorate Treaties which ended on December 1, 1971 and the eventual, federal unification of the seven emirates in 1971 which combined to form the modern-day country, headed by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the federation's first president.
