Our World Tuesday - Dubai at night

Im not really a fan of flashing lights and artificial song and dance - but I have to say the "Dancing Fountains" that are created in the evening in Dubai are impressive.




I was sitting having a vanilla milkshake while these fountains were dancing - it was all rather relaxing!  This kind of show is part of a long term plan to keep Dubai going when the "black gold" runs dry.  The aim is to make it tourist destination in its own right.  As a long term strategy you have to hope it works.

You can find more images from around the world at Our World Tuesday.

You can find the latest post to my other blog by clicking on the Paying Ready Attention image on the RHS of the screen.

Enjoy the pictures.

    It's mind-boggling the money they have invested in Dubai's tourist industry. I'd love to go there some day. Those fountains look amazing!

    The fountains look huge typical for Dubai I assume. Did they change colour as well as height?

    Very nice photos! That citi-scape just doesn't look real to me. I know it is, but it's just so unusual and amazing.

    These are very fine night scene shots!
    I agree, the city scene is usually not for me.. but those fountains are lovely & there's something special about photographing all those lights.
