Gail and I have visited Dubai many times, but not once have we seen a camel. The other day our luck was in. We decided to spend the day on the beach, and while we were soaking up the rays, Laurence of Arabia rode by on one and towing another. Perhaps it was his caravan!
Took a number of shots, but think this one came out the best.
Dubai is still overcast with the fallout from the sandstorm in Iraq which is affecting the whole of the UAE. It's about 40*c at the moment, but no sun is getting through the cloud of dust. It's not as drastic as the old pea soupers that the UK used to get in the 1950s. I'll see if I take a good image to illustrate it.
That camel in Nottingham got me curious! Oh...not in Nottingham! I see...
ReplyDeleteForty C in the sand sounds a bit warm.
ReplyDeleteThought that was you for a moment GM.lol
ReplyDeleteHave you ever rode one?? Tis no easy task my friend.
Great shot - by the way.
Wow. I am impressed. Looks like the place to be on the camel I mean.
ReplyDeleteI have been sleeping with blankets on and the air conditioning off. It is about 59 F here in the mornings. July the coldest month ever recorded.
Now, you and your friends can help me Make History. I am trying to see if it is possible to get 10,000 visitors in a short period of time on my new blog, Pick a Peck of Pixels. If you go there, please either become a Follower or leave a comment. You can come back each day to see and read something new. Your visit will count and help me Make History.
Pick a Peck of Pixels
I had to look twice...... it did not look like the country my husband is from.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it is a vision of things to come if global warming gets worse??
Joking aside. Have a nice holiday.
In Stavanger we have +15C ........
Well, you'd not see that in Nottingham, would you? Super shot. Sounds like you are having a great time in Dubai except for the dust/sand which I hope clears soon.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME photo, Gail's Man! I thought Laurence or Arabia was dead? Did you ride a camel on the beach after that?
ReplyDeletegreat photo.
ReplyDeleteYou have to wonder whether anyone has good posture though, on a camel.
Looks darned hot!
what a gorgeous picture; the colors contrasts are striking.
