Have you ever imagined the most colorful country in black and white?

We are all used to seeing pictures of Dubai that show the thousands of colors of this country. This time, work managed to take me exactly there, to one of the few remaining places, which I decide to present to you in black and white.

As I traveled along the entrance road of one of the largest cities, majestic buildings rose in the distance that I couldn't help but capture in a photo. I said to myself several times - this looks like a super cool place, I have to take some shots.
The name Dubai is associated with a bunch of synonyms - "The City of the Future", "The Pearl of the Persian Gulf", "The Flower of the Middle East", etc. I hope to keep the tirades as short as possible and focus on the photographic material, because there really is a lot to see.

There's such a nice feeling and sense of perfection when you've planned and fine-tuned everything. Before leaving, I knew all the destinations, attractions, options, prices, shopping opportunities, hotels, night clubs and such. Also, my brother (from whom I learned) is one of the good landscape photographers. He gave me some tips, what time and what position I should be at in the evening, how long it would take me to take several medium exposures to be able to capture several subjects in one night, etc...

I didn't even notice when I got to the hotel because my visual analyzer was busy enough to keep track of what was going on in all directions. And the following pictures alternated there - the amazing bridge structures over the Dubai Canal, the unique silhouette of Burj Al Arab towards the beach, the huge world-famous hotel chains standing like pillars on both sides of the Mall of the Emirates and a bunch of others. Usually in most places I start the tour from the so-called zero day, but with the flight delay and minimal acclimatization time needed, I decided not to overexert myself.
From all sides the port is surrounded by skyscrapers that the human eye can hardly distinguish as separate structures, what remains to capture them in a photo.

I'm always silent when I leave, and hundreds of thoughts run through my head a minute. I will not forget, however, the alternating skyscrapers and the stunning tower that I looked out the window of the bus and how for a moment I shuddered, realizing that in just a year or two everything here would be different - bigger, shinier, more incredible . Today's future will already be in the past! Bray, jumping up at some such thought and getting scared. 🙂 Well, in conclusion: there are so many things to see in Dubai that if you think that a "holiday in Dubai" really means a holiday, you are sorely mistaken. However, I can categorically say - it's worth it! Dare!
