Hey man, great threat. Of course we've all seen your pics in different threats on SSC, but it's nice to have one overview, just like this one. Keep the pics coming, it's truly appreciated.

Thanks No worries, you guys won't get rid of me any time soon

Took this pic today at Trade Centre Roundabout I liked the perspective when I drove there the other day, so when I had an appointment in the area today I took my camera just to take this single picture

Desert Diver,

I am in love with your pictures, I can assume you are a professional Photographer.

In the picture below, the water looks like transparent Dolphins jumping:

Thanks

I wish I was a professional photographer, I really got hooked on photography. However, I am just a boring Sales Manager visiting clients and doing office work

Now that you mention it I also see the dolphins

Fantastic collection of photos! Much better than a lot of so-called "professionals" that I've come across that's for sure! Seriously, Desert Diver, you've got a great deal of talent with a camera in your hands..

Incredible shot of Gourmet Tower

Keep 'em coming please

Thanks for the compliment, Parisian Girl

Here are some pics from the Qualifying of the Red Bull Air Race in Abu Dhabi today. We had a great time! It is just stunning to see how fast these planes fly and turn

As urban/architectural photographers, we think alike when it comes to perspectives. Interesting juxtapositions such as this are the type of shot I love to capture.
