Clock tower R/A

Just a snapshot of the Clock Tower in Deira.

Redbull Flugtag

The Redbull Flugtag was held in the Creek Park this friday. We got am amazingly good view of the event even if the park had 30000 visitors.

Santa Claus

Santa Claus or Jultomten as he is called in Sweden at the Norwegian Seamens Center in Dubai.

Water leak

It seems that they dug a bit too deep at this construction site between Al Maktoum Bridge and the Star Boutique building.

The Swedish Embassy

The embassy is locate on the 12th floor Al Otaiba Tower in Abu Dhabi. That's the middle building it this picture.

Driving simulator

This is a driving simulator at the Dubai Motor Show. A standard car on a testbed with ventilation for the exhaust, three large projection screens. Man, it was really noisy when someone was using it!

Bugatti Veyron

The Bugatti Veyron with a price tag of $1.3 was not the most eyecatching car at the DubaiMotor Show.

Dirty car

I found this note from the municipality on the windshield of a dirty car.

My office

This is the Dubai Concorde building at Al Maktoum Street. My office is at the narrow edge on the 9'th floor.

Al Maktoum Street

View from the pedestrian overpass outside Dubai Concorde and the Pic 'n' Save store.

Shuttle bus

This is the shuttle bus, or maybe train, that gets handicapped, tired, aged or just plain lazy people from one end to the other in Ibn Battuta mall.

Did we do something wrong?

A heated discussion among the site managers and the worker. But maybe they were only discussing the latest cricket game. :-D

Al Ittihad at night

Pic of a piece of art between the lanes on Al Ittihad road just outside the airport. It might not be visible in the picture, but there's a big flame in the middle of it.

Port Saeed

View of Port Saeed across Al Ittihad road.

Poi

Today I was feeling a bit "crafty" and decided to make myself a pair of practice pois of an old sheet and a pair of shoelaces. I think they are a bit on the heavy side so I'll probably end up with some bruises during the next few days. :-P

The Burg

The "7-star" hotel Burg Al Arab as seen from Madinat Jumeriah.

Ski Dubai

This is the "tube" of the indoor ski slope in Mall of the Emirates.

The boat

This boat is outside Dubai Museum in Bur Dubai. Some day I'll actually go into the museum and not just pass by it. ;-)
