I see.... Competing with Skytower's most likely fake "interview" with Adrian Smith over at SSP

Anyway, can't wait to see your pics and videos

[DUBAI]

Has it been delayed by FC Bayerns defeat?

[dubaiflo]

huh no i expected so, no chance, milan, typical.
anyway, pictures coming soon, not sure about video since upload will take time.

[Bikes]

this is going to be in the morning for me LOL

[dubaiflo]

OK here we go:

First, those are around 150 pictures,

if anyone of you has special requests, i have some 300 left showing roughly the same, but might show what you look for.

Second, all of them were taken at 8MP, so zooming in is possible, again, close ups of anything, just ask.

Third, i increased Contrast on all the pictures to see more details, however quality lacks. Again, i can post the original images if you want any specific one.

Superb photos flo!

Atlantis looks huge! Burj Dubai photos are amazing but the view looks like it may be a bit boring from up there after a while actually

[A.U.S. arch. Student]

Flo these pictures bring me to tears lmao Dubai is just so amazing I cannot stress how much I love this place and your pictures clearly show this is no plastic city or las vegas i hate those comparisons, did u take pictures of dubailand? Thanks alot especially for the palm pictures those are by far the best i have ever seen!!! the palm is hands down the 8th wonder, how bout we just give the entire dubai "The 8th World Wonder" title!!!

[dubaiflo]

that is what i have been saying for ages, higher than 100m and you will not see much happening, you are cut from live down.

that can be either an advantage or disadvantage, according to every individual's taste.

as for the video, since there will be no Dubai Megaprojects in the near future, i have decided to do this one more or less properly with music, takes some more time. tomorrow maybe

[A.U.S. arch. Student]

Dubaiflo how much did it cost you to fly in the chopper aed or usd?

[Adrian Smith fan]

thanks, just to let you know a bunch didnt show there's just x's in some spots

[dubaiflo]

i can see all?? anyone else? it takes time until they load though..

[A.U.S. arch. Student]
