The thing that strikes me most about your images is the lack of 
people.  They could have been taken here in Oz!  It never occurred to 
me that no one lived in Dubai. :-)

By way of explanation...  About 30 years ago I spent a few days 
travelling around NQ with an Indian colleague.  By day two he was 
regularly commenting "Another Australian town with no people!"

About 20 years ago I spent several months in southern India.  That's 
when I came to realise what he had been on about!

Cheers, Phred.
