Oh. So I guess Dubai has comparable weather to San Francisco.

Not really. It's only foggy on some 5 days per year and it never lasts longer than 9 AM.

The BK has grown a lot on me since it was completed two years ago. Thanks for all those great pics Desert Diver, they are much appreciated.

dubai's architecture has gotten bigger and better over time. too bad the ugly projects got bigger too. take those away, the gawd awful 10 lane freeways and improve building quality and you might have a vibrant city.

I'd love to see a dense and active dibai, it'd look so filthy!

It's the nature of photography that everything becomes lighter the longer you expose

Why is it that in this particular forum it seems to be obligatory to say either nothing or something bad about Dubai?

If it was in the States I'm sure this thread would be full of praise and glory. Hallelujah.

I couldn't care less if it was Dubai or any other city. I love how you make this out to be a "states VS Dubai" bullshit, when really nobody gives a f%@k. And you even put religion into this, Its laughable to say the least. You must have some sort of vendetta. Even if it is lighter because of the photograph, its still alot of light, and that was my observation. Sorry you took it offensively.

Desert Diver · #**180** Posted **Jun 17, 2012, 4:53 PM**

Alright, thanks for the clarification. Fact is, there is a lot of hostility towards Dubai, especially in this forum - and it is tiresome. My apologies, I didn't mean to foster that.

Cheers
