This was shot from the rooftop bar of Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. Just after the sunset, the entire city was glowing and the view was breathtaking from the 43rd Level of the hotel. The beautiful architectures of Dubai and the skyscrapers make the photo larger than life and I just couldn't resist capturing it. It signifies the dream and vision behind this city.

This was taken early morning sunrise time when I had gone for a drive to the Royal Meydan Bridge in Dubai. I was really mesmerized by the beauty of the bridge and the running blue LED lights like the shape of a caterpillar. The sun was coming out from the Race Course behind it and the orange backdrop complimented the architecture of the bridge and it looked like a space world.

For me Dubai is ultimately wild, untamed & fascinating. My story is about standing on the edge with no one around, whilst the simplicity of wind turbines & making this dry continent my island home. The amazing architecture & the skyscrapers makes this city so different from the others that I have seen & adds a lot of character to the frame.

In capturing this beautiful shot, I focus on the feelings each seagull evokes! This daylight reflections encompass hopes & dreams.

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque at Abu Dhabi is a Photographer’s Paradise & it even looks more beautiful at the night. The reflection of the its arches & coulumns on the water & marble makes it look more prettier. The sight was just magical & giving a sense of calmness to the mind.

The atmosphere that I want to invoke in this picture is exactly the same as that which I have experienced while being in this surrounding, speechless by the beauty of the natural world.

As I climbed the 42nd level of Shangrila Hotel Dubai to watch the Sunrise. The Sun behind the tallest building in the world Burj Khalifa made the city looked so mesmerizing & the view of Sheikh Zayed Road couldn’t get any better. The beautiful architecture of the skyscrapers was awakening & making it a perfect setting for what is called a “ Metropolis ”.
