Swapping Snow For Sand. A week long get-a-way to Dubai

Well, thats one more place ticked off my bucket list to visit before my batteries run out! Last Saturday, I returned to the cold winter weather of the UK  after spending a week with friends in Dubai as well as a couple of days in a fantastic hotel in the desert of Abu Dhabi. What an amazing place it was and I hope we can revisit it sooner rather than later. Myself and my wife stayed with a couple of friends who have lived and worked in Dubai for 4 years now. It really helps when you have someone with local knowledge who can show you not only the tourist places but some of the everyday life areas of a city. After a quite relaxing 7 hour flight flying into Dubai on an Emirates 777, we were met at the airport by Roy and Celia, our hosts for the week, who had organised a full but relaxing schedule for our first visit to the UAE. I first met Roy and Celia at our local camera club in Washington many years ago when he was based in the UK and have remained friends ever since, so it was great to be out there with a fellow photographers. I returned home with 1500 images not including the ones taken on my phone and a load of video clips as well. Not wanting to bore you with a gallery of 1500 images, I have sorted through them and picked just 10 images from our trip that I really like, not because they are all the best I took, but because they give you a taste of what the landscape of the area has too offer and believe me, 1500 images is not enough to do that so 10 is really just a nibble rather than a bite! Click the image to see it large and find out more.  And please feel free to comment. Enjoy ;)

Great set of images Dave, and my car is looking good on the beach!! This choice of shots really does sum up the week but I'm sure you could easily have selected a hundred more... It was great to host you and Elaine and an amazing week for us too. :-)
