City of Cranes - A few from Dubai

[BigEasy]

This is a very unique city… basically devoid of any “old” cultural sites, the city is roughly 10 years old. Sure the sightseeing tours will tell you the city has been populated since 3000BC, and I sure that’s true. But those old Bedouins have long since gone, and their tents are dust in the wind. There are a few modern structures built to look old.. but trust me, Dubai is not the place to go if you want to explore ruins of the past.

Spectacular! What a treat to see this unique city.

Thanks for sharing, you've got some angles I've never seen before.

How was access, were you open to shoot where you wanted?

Thanks Joe, Access was fine.. except for the Burj Al Arab, Sailboat hotel. Private property so I had to shoot from the beach and a nearby hotel. Other than that just like shooting in Houston.

These are really quite good; I would like the opportunity to visit here one day. My wife doesn't really see any interest in going, though, and I hear it is quite expensive.

Beautiful and informative shots, Gene. Do you have any more of the market, people? Tri.

all are great but I really like the last one- gives a sense of old and new...

[BigEasy]

Thanks all.

Tri, I'll need to look once I get back to home base. I'm on the road the next few weeks.
