Snow in June surprised even the Canadians.
In 2007, this sight surprised me.
Dubai, in October, was still hotter
than Geelong in mid-summer.
Heat.

~~~~~
glow
give out steady light without flame.
~~~~~
The Arabian Desert sun was blocked by sand/dust
and reduced to a glowing ball in the sky,
long before it found the horizon.
Decorated trees glowed in the night along
the banks of the Dubai Creek…
…this glow…
…along with lights from nearby highrise buildings
was reflected in the water of the Dubai Creek.

golden
coloured or shining like gold.
The only thing we prebooked before our 2016 visit
to Dubai was High Tea at the Burj Al Arab.
So, up the escalator…
…past the gold columns to the elevator doors,
we journeyed.…
…eventually reaching the sky View Bar
and more golden decor…
Still more gold was to be found
at the bottom of our first (complimentary) drink.

~~~~~~~
~~~~~
tall
of great or more than average height,
especially (with reference to an object)
relative to width
~~~~~
At 2,716 feet high, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa,
in my opinion, rates as tall.
Using my 18-253 mm focal length Sigma lens
at 250 mm focal length
At 52 mm focal length about
the same as the human eye.
The scene at
18 mm focal length.
The last three images were taken from
the observation deck on the 148 floor
of the Burj Khalifa.
