W for Windsurf

Once more it is Wednesday and we reached the letter W at ABC Wednesday

I hope this windsurfer's shot from archive will be OK for the theme.

During winter time, we have acceptable weather for windsurf also sometimes there is enough waves for board surf. 

I haven't try these. It seems difficult. 

This photo was taken at November 2011. I love winter time, but only in Dubai :) 

T for turtles

Taken at the start of The Big Jumeirah Sea Turtle Race  in 2012. Jumeirah group has Turtle Rehabilitation Centre. Every year they release found and rehabilitated turtles to the nature. Some of turtles tagged with satellite transmitter to collect data about their journey, migration behaviour. All of the transmitter data is publicly available on this link who are interested.

According to information on their web site, there are two types of Sea Turtle commonly found in the Gulf of Arabia. They are under protection with law in UAE.

I couldn't catch the turtle release in 2013 and in 2014 one school sponsored the transmitter and the release was organised by the school as educational purpose for their students.

posted for ABC Wednesday. you can see more post from here about letter T all around the world.

Tranquility

One shot from Jan 2013.
This season I haven't yet a chance to go to beach .
While scrolling my photos, I saw this one and I just want to share it. I should go to beach this coming weekend. Sometimes it is so easy to forget treasures of this city .
