Cranes of Dubai

2006-09-23T16:36:00.000-04:00

I spent 48 hours in Dubai in late July 2006. The most indelible memory I will have of my time in Dubai is the number of construction cranes I saw as I drove up the coast of the Persian Gulf. At one point while the tour bus I was on stopped at traffic light I counted 130 cranes on the left side of the bus.

Plane over PetroCan

2006-03-10T13:06:00.000-05:00

Last weekend my wife and I took our girls over to the airport to watch planes for a while. This time we parked near a PetroCan gas station on Airport Road which just happens to be locatated directly below the flight path into the North runway. I managed to capture these three shots. I am most captivated by the second picture and include the first one only to provide some context:

As I took this shot I was fairly certain that this was a Airbus 340. Witness the four engines.

This is the shot I had been hoping for the previous hour of watching aircraft. As this point I was now certain I had captured an Airbus 340.

I hope this image conveys some sense of how close the aircraft are to the ground at this point.
