Mr Sandman, Build Me A Dream - #147


You've heard of The Palm and The World - this is how they do it.

Ships pumping out millions of tonnes of sand.

Up Close And Personal (for Meg) - #30


In response to a request from Ms. Meg from NZ - here is a close up of the falcon's headress.

From what I know, the headress is used to simulate night time. A hunting bird will be calm when dark as they can not hunt or even fly at night, so if as a human you wish to calm a bird of prey, make it night...

One of my favourite places - #20


Another view of Dubai, a glorious view - the beach at Jebal Ali.

This is a glorious beach between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. A great place to spend a day or even camp over night with friends.

The government have made beach shelters and put up these shower units along the whole beach (except for some reason these showers are dry, they never work!). There is a huge airport just about to be developed, in fact the biggest in the world, that I think will be the end of this beach. They have started zoning it off and it is a great great shame...

The temperature is dropping steadily and very soon it'll be cool enough for the first camping trip of the year and I can't wait...

Dunelight - #17


As it is Sunday which means it is the start of the working week here and the rest of the world is still chilling on their Sunday - I thought I'd post a simple picture of, in my humble opinion, simple peaceful natural beauty. (not the photo per se, that could be so much better especially with the purple artifact, but whatever I love the scene...)

There's no need to be all complicated now, is there?

Enjoy your time people, simple...
