A recent TV magazine program reported on the high number of worker fatalities that have occured during the construction of these very skyscrapers in Dubai. Apparently, the labor laws in Dubai are set up in such a wa as to protect the developers but not the workers. The report stated that the workers are nothing more than indentured servants (captive slave workers) who are more or less forced to work in hazardous conditions for little or no pay. Sure, it’s a pretty picture, but at what cost….
Dubai is gorgeous both from above and on the ground. The hotels are extravagant so ti is right up my alley. Beautiful photo, boys. Having lived in other countries like Morocco and the Ukraine, I always appreciate a photo that let’s the us American’s see the beauty of cities around the world.
Did you take it yourself?
Nice…I echo Teresa’s question…did you take it? pretty neat.
Beautiful. And as someone with a fear of heights, I might not even feel freaked out up there.

Ya-but… way to put a wet towel on an otherwise stunning photo! If true tho, that is very much lacking in cool-factor!

Drink plenty of water. Here’s a question for you CB—if you pass the guy in second place, what place are you in?
Hi sellsius°
I don’t know about CB but if I passed the guy in second place then I would be in second place.
Thanks Jay
That’s right Jay. But ask someone very quickly and they will usually say first place. Try it.
