Sometimes I think that if I lived there then I’d miss the seasons (e.g. spring and fall)…but I wouldn’t be surprised if they developed a technology and infrastructure that would enable changing seasons in a section of the city. Come experience a white Chr... 

Ha thanks

Well for a white Christmas you can go to Mall of the Emirates with an indoor ski facility where it is minus 5 Celsius and real snow

Its an indoor ski facility

On a side note. Pls be vigilant in Dubai for watch crooks. A syndicate contacted me last week to ask if she could buy my watch which I repeatedly told her I was not selling. I referred her to purchase from the ADs there but she seemed fishy in having no i...

and nice star patterns in that first photo. ND filter? The still water makes a great reflection - location, location, location... Casey .

Thank you my friend

Beautiful photos as always
