A trip to Abu Dhabi and Dubai

These are some images from a recent trip to the U.A.E. It was fascinating in its contrasts. I met a number of wonderful people that continually remind me that our similarities are much greater that our differences.

OMG so many contrasts! Thanks 4 the images, it's incredible to see this wealth in the same world where so many die with no food, it's sad. Anyways, i hope 4 a better future.

Great images. Abu Dhabi has a surreal quality, very disconnected from the little enclave of fishing boats that are sandwiched in the middle of your video.

Thank you! The imagery had an interesting impact on me. Such ostentatious wealth in a world that contrasts with such poverty. Cycles occur and I see that the contractors (all of those construction cranes) are faced with a lot of projects that are now stopped. Your imagery reminded me of the 1971 short film "Iran," Claude Lelouche (also here on youtube). A different epoch. A different cycle..........

I loved the moment of landing at JFK with the snow! I remembered my trips to the Middle East! So different cultures together, so many contrasts.
