Millions of Muslims around the world are today celebrating Eid al-Fitr, the celebration that comes after the holy month of Ramadan, when Muslims believe the Qur’an was revealed to the prophet Muhammad.



Since the prayers take place so early in the morning, it’s a little easy to get distracted. This kid, in Indonesia, was mesmerised by a remote-controlled camera flying overhead.



But it’s fair to say that Eid is a celebration for the whole family.





The importance of the morning prayer can be demonstrated by the lengths many go to in order to attend the prayer session.





Which also led to some incredible photography.

And Rick Perry wants to build one just like it on the Rio Grande.
