An amazing achievement. Big congratulations. Does the sheik know about your blogsite? It can be hard work, and takes a lot of ones free time, but I do get a certain amount of pleasure out of this odd art form. Thanks for namechecking me in your list of credits. Here's to the next 365!
Happy One Year!!! Your blog has been very interesting and a good place for me to learn something about an area I will probably never get to see with my own eyes. Thanks for the good photos.

Nice work Bluey - an amazing year of insights and great photos. And to think you wouldn't be a regular on our photoblog cos you thought you weren't "good enough". Maybe now you'll think you are and, with the break, we look forward to seeing more of your unique street/reportage photography on the Critical Light photoblog. You do that better than any of us could...
Looking forward to meeting up on September 12 in the UK.
Cheers

You will be missed but what a way to finish. Love this photo and the stats.
I love this photo. It so typifies Dubai and the other Arab states to me. That and camels being herded. It's just gorgeous. Don't take too long a break. It might get habit forming. And thanks.
Congratulations Bluey!!! it was an amazing, very interesting year for DDP, thanx for sharing. you made my visits very enjoyable.
hope to see you back when you recuperate and get new ideas from an amazing Dubai!
all the best and have a good rest.
ciao!

Hi Chuckeroon, excelelnt blog you have here. Sorry to barge in like this, I looked around for an email address here but couldn't find one.
I was wondering if your good self or any of the other bloggers here would be interested in writing a review or putting a link in their blog roll with the link text 'Dubai Property' or variations of?
If so please email me at mychildrenareamazing@yahoo.com specifying how much you'd want per post and how much you'd charge to place a link in their blog roll or blog footer.
Thanks
Rob

Thanks for keeping up with the picture a day. I've made sure to blog about your blog and let others know about the great photography here.
This is the best so far I love hawking and this brings back memories of my youth.
A coulpe of months ago I got a British Airways Cheap Flights to Dubai and spent a month there, it was fantastic, the place is really hard to describe unless you have been but these photos say it all great work.
There is a hawking centre near where I live as I pass by I will remeber this photograph.
What a great shot I have betudying digital photography and bought a great camera from the argos digital camera section, I hope to be producing shots like these shortly.
I love this picture it captures what I think of Dubai. I took a picture of a hawk the other day on my debenhams mobile phones camera but they are just average.
I love this I have a hawk myself that I go hunting with so this is close to my heart.
Great accomplishment!
