Burj Khalifa - Dubai

Burj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE

 Stayed in Dubai an additional day - way to much to see and photograph. I hired a guide and it turned out he really understood photography and what I was looking for. Matter of fact I almost stayed one more day.....maybe next time...

We started out at 5:45AM trying to catch the sunrise on the Burj Khalifa, the tallest man made structure in the world at 829.8 meters (2,722 feet). Not only that but the building opened on my birthday in 2010 - so I had to make an image...

Leaving Dubai tomorrow morning - what a neat place - desert, city, old world, modern and much more....stay tuned for more images on both blogs.

Arrived into Dublin yesterday morning at 7AM....Had a bit of breakfast and a quick nap then hit the streets. As many times as I have been in Dublin with this band or that band this was the first time I actually had the time to get out for a walk - with no cell phone ringing incessantly.

Headed over to Grafton Street then down to the river that runs through Dublin - I captured the image above from the Grafton Street Bridge. Dublin has the most amazing architecture - some of the doorways completely blew me away - hope to get an image of one next ot the hotel before departing for the drive to Galway this morning - more fun driving on the wrong side of the road.
