Look Up Once In A While - #182

Photography makes you look at the world differently I think. You tend to look at things from odd angles and behave strangely in public...

There is usually no need to look up...

The Pregnant Lady - #177

Three well known Dubai buildings on the bank of the Creek. The one in the middle is nicknamed The Pregnant Lady as it has a bank of glass windows with a gentle verticla bulging curve to it, which gives it the appearance of a pregnant lady.

Taken Friday morning, a stunning day - great temperature, nice skies, at this time of year Dubai is very nice.

The Burj Eiffel - #151

Dubai is renowned for it's building projects. Some are great, some are awesome and some are just stupid.

The Falcon City Of Wonders is the latter. A city of apartment blocks of so called wonders of the world including the Eiffel Tower, The Pyramids, The Coliseum and others.

I really don't know who will want to stay in these eyesores.

All The Glitters Is Not Gold - #134

Oil, gold, import, export, hotel, tourist, tradition, modernism.... money.

A scene on SZR. View towards Business Bay area. These apartments are called Executive Towers and are going for a lot of money. A 2 bed costs approx US$450,000 or so.

Remember the classic song "D.I.S.C.O." - the theme tune for Dubai right now could be "C.R.A.S.H."

The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Worker - #104

Some workers here have been here for years, in fact decades, and only see their families once at the very most per year.

That must be tough in so many ways.

Question - When Is A Cat Not A Cat? - #37

Answer - When It Is An Oil Soaked Dirty Yet Magnificent Earth Mover In Arabia.

Personally, my recommendation is to bow down and worship this beast.
