Pollution in Dubai

I took a boat ride out to sea in the morning, where you could nicely see an orange blanket of haze that rests over populated areas of Dubai. The colors on these images have been pumped up just to see the difference between clear air and pollution. The worst thing is ... when you're IN the haze it just seems like normal air... (cough cough)

_ _ _ _ in Dubai

It doesn't happen often. It usually comes a day or two in a year. This year it came and it didn't go away for 3 days.

Rain.

Up to a meter of water. Dubai is flat, has no rivers, no depressions, no reason for water to accumulate. It happened for one simple reason. The drains don't work. Why ? Because they don't drain. They are just holes in the road.

The pictures below are not mini lakes. Its out road...

Sophie

A friend of Sara's asked me if i could take some photos of her. I went and took some. She was happy and i was pleased with the results. Hope you are to :)






Kite Sufring

Almost once a week when the wind is good, local kite surfers gather at a beach and go crazy. I went for a look and to take some photos. Take a look.





Protoplasm

A lot of climbers have this thing, where they find a route that they like a lot. It becomes their project to climb at some point. I found something similar on one of my climbing trips around New Zealand. It's called Protoplasm and it has a lot of dynamic moves. It's my project. Photos are courtesy of David H. Editing is by me.
