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.

You will see many, many pics more.
Day 2, all interesting pics in one post.
There are not many because the weather was a disaster.
Before i took the bus to the DUbai Marina, i explored the area around my hotel.
Before someone want to tell you that taking pics is forbidden you should be fast and take a pic.
Me again
At 10 o`clock in the morning i took the bus to the Dubai Marina.
The area on the left side i marked is the Dubai Marina. It`s far away from the Dubai core on the right side.
The skyline changed really much since my last visit.
The situation at the beach is worse than 2 years ago.
It was very hot on that day (around 38°C) and the view become worse and worse.
Would be nice to know how tall the JBR Towers are.
At that point i was hungry and it was too hot so i took a taxi to a much cooler place
Souvenirs at the Mall of the Emirates.
Silver asses
The very beginning of urbanity.
I took later a taxi back to the Marina. 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.
I could just take around 5 pics before they kicked me out because i was not a guest.
The damage caused by the strong winds.
I took the next pics from the parking part of the skyscraper on the right side.
After the first storm came a second big storm.
The rain was not too long but it rained very heavy.
The JLT
Th streets after the rain.
The end of day 2.
I wanted to take some nightpics but i rained the entire night.
