Amazing photostory,
thank you Tom |

Thanks :)
I will continue. The pics are from day one. Some minutes before the landing. What you see is not Dubai but Sharjah. http://img481.imageshack.us/img481/5...40kopiegu0.jpg My first impression outside of the terminal :D http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/8...52kopieuc8.jpg Lucky shot from the bus. If you visit Dubai you will see many planes above the Creek and Deira. http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/6...59kopieii8.jpg This is where i took the following pictures. I started at the right side of the map. I marked the core(right side) and the SZR(left side) where the big skyscrapers are. Many people believing that the SZR is the core of Dubai. But that is false. It`s right now the edge of the city. http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5...benanntys9.jpg Dubai is green http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/2...69kopieyn2.jpg I came to Dubai because of that monster. I wanted to see it under construction. :) http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6...76kopiesb1.jpg http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7...80kopiemf3.jpg There is really much green in Dubai :D http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3...88kopiend7.jpg http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/1...91kopieut8.jpg http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/5...97kopieip2.jpg http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/4...99kopiexl7.jpg I think i don`t need to write what building it is :D http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/7...08kopiezj6.jpg http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/6...21kopiefe5.jpg http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/8...24kopieua1.jpg Traffic flow on the SZR. http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/2...29kopiefm4.jpg That`s me :D http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/6...33kopieep0.jpg Taken from the only pedestrian bridge over the SZR. http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/4...39kopiepx3.jpg http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/9...52kopieid0.jpg The suburbs of Dubai. http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/1...62kopieve0.jpg http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4...65kopienu1.jpg The worst thing in Dubai right now: Traffic jam. http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9...83kopiepn6.jpg Any questions? |

I have never had a wrong idea about Dubai,I've no idea about Dubai,at the end, and I've never listened things about Dubai,maybe because I don't travel a Lot.But,if U travel and U listen there are bad ideas in the world about Dubai and I don't travel and I don't listen things about Dubai,wrong or right,nevermind,it seems to me that U want to say that people who travel,so that knows Dubai,has a wrong opinions about Dubai.I think that the people that doesn't Knows Dubai doesn't think in absolutely about Dubai!
|
Can U explain clairly your mission and who are the people that U talk about?Thanks!

i agree. there's much more to dubai than the constructions. and just because it's growing fast doesn't mean that it doesn't have a culture of its own.

wow, the pictures are beautiful. Its interesting in the west we either know about Dubai or dont have a clue where it is at all. My impression of the city has always been of this sparkling new paradise in the sand, but the last shots show a more gritty portrail of the city. I think the contrast is interesting. In the same shot you see what really can only be discribed as a hovel and in the background the beautiful modern city center. Great job all around! Please post more if there are any.

A massiv thunderstorm was approaching and the temperature dropped from 38 to 21 degrees. There was heavy rain and strong winds. My shelter was the Grosvenour House. http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6...71kopiewr9.jpg I could just take around 5 pics before they kicked me out because i was not a guest. http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/8...75kopieca9.jpg The damage caused by the strong winds. http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8...94kopieki1.jpg http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/1...95kopieav4.jpg I took the next pics from the parking part of the skyscraper on the right side. http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/2...07kopieou5.jpg http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/3...08kopielz6.jpg After the first storm came a second big storm. http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/1...19kopieyi9.jpg The rain was not too long but it rained very heavy. http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/3...20kopiekr9.jpg The JLT http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/7...21kopieun9.jpg Th streets after the rain. http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/3617/img4331cm3.jpg http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/5...39kopievx1.jpg http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8...44kopielc8.jpg The end of day 2. http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/1...46kopieou8.jpg I wanted to take some nightpics but i rained the entire night. |

Wow, just wow. I SO want to visit Dubai now:)
Those are some incredible pictures. I love all those cranes- I could identify quite a few Potains and a few Liebherrs there. Somebody needs to make a Dubai postcard- a closeup of a crane, and the caption "Official bird of Dubai" |
