 Our friend and picture editor Clint McLean at The National newspaper in Abu Dhabi alerted us to a stills and video project they have been building today to document National Day in the UAE. The gallery is a contact sheet of images and videos from around the country which is being added to almost in real time.
The project paints an interesting picture of how the emirates celebrate the creation of the nation which happened only 39 years ago. They've come a long way.
