Dubai Canvas

After yesterday's post,, here I have another picture from 3D Pavement Art Festival, Dubai Canvas.

Dubai Canvas

Last week there was 3D pavement art festival first time in Dubai, it is exhibited opposite to Jumeriah Beach Residence (JBR).
Its called "Dubai Canvas".
Many 3D pavement artists from all around world and some local artist participate that.  I visited at the last evening. This artwork is belong to Gregor Wasik ,

Who wants Ice cream?

The vendor was so shy, he only let me take the picture without him.

Monocyle in Dubai

taken at the Beach - JBR.

Recently I started to see these kind of security people around the city. It started at airport couple of years ago, than the Dubai Mall and on the street.

Besides security people, I saw couple of people in the working on their way to the office with mono wheel gadgets.

Retro Feast..

A cafe at JBR - the Beach.

I am not sure when it has opened. I am not going this area often since the traffic became a problem at that area.

The decoration of the cafe is totally British. Even you can see the Tube underground sign at the top also as a part of decoration.

beach time

Yesterday I was bit lazy to prepare today's post. :(
this morning we went to The beach for breakfast and I took this picture on the way back.
this is the best season for the beach. :)

Midsummer day

Today is 21st June, the longest day in northern hemisphere.

It is celebrated in mostly Scandinavian countries.

This picture may not fit for the celebration midsummer day at outdoor but because of the bright sun I wanted to share it for today.

reflection through escalator

Last weekend, we went to the Beach for breakfast at one of new places recently opened at The Beach / JBR. On the way back, I noticed this reflection at escalator of underground car park.

The colours were changing constantly.  I spent couple of minutes, at the same spot. At the end security approached and asked me, "I really couldn't understand. What is there to be photographed?"

It was obvious that I was not security threat and the question was just coming from the curiosity. :) After I showed him the picture, he really liked it.

Taking a picture in public may disturb many people in everywhere, but here in Dubai, it is more sensitive. Sometimes, people may smile at you while you are taking picture sometimes they may stopped you, even if you were concentrate on something else, they may claim that you were taking their pictures which they are not approve.

It happened couple of times and the only solution is showing them what was taken and in case if they were in the frame by mistake, delete those pictures in front of their eyes. I would not take any risk on that kind a situation.

Going to the beach

The weather is getting warmer and warmer..
taken yesterday at The Beach complex at JBR.
While I was returning to home these two ladies were going to beach at noon time. I don't think that was a good idea but they were not alone.

reflection from the ceiling

Last weekend, we decided to make some changes for the lunch and instead of cafe at our building we went a newly opened restaurant at JBR, the beach. The food was delicious and the decoration was interesting. Whole ceiling was decorated with different shape mirrors. I couldn't leave the restaurant without this picture. :)

the Beach

another view from the Beach mall at JBR - the walk.
they are very creative about naming :)
comparing the previous, I really like the new complex. even tough during construction, I was criticizing the project with saying "Mall at the beach? all those malls weren't enough?" but after the result, I am glad that they did it :)

confused...

at the end of February there was an event for sand sculptures at the JBR. I took this picture at that time.

Actually I was planning to post this picture, Unfortunately blogger ruined my picture in somehow.
The exposure was changed and I couldn't post it.
I tried several times; saved in another program, cropped, not cropped, light adjusted or original settings, or save for web devices or even upload the original jpeg with original size and quality. then I gave up with that picture.
then second round stated. I tired another sunset photo, but again, the exposure and lights were changed while I uploaded. at the end of all efforts, I was feeling "confused".

by the way, blogger changed this picture's exposure as well. But I am done for tonight. I will not try 4th picture.
I hope this problem will not continue .. :(
Is there anyone experienced similar problem with Blogger?
