My ever changing view from the balcony in Dubai


This was the view from the garden in January 2018.

The top photo was taken from the balcony August 2018


This photo was taken August 2020

As the crow flies from our balcony:
Metro station is 600 meters
The new building is 5.13 kms
The Dubai Eye Wheel is 6 kms

I've been documenting the construction of buildings in Dubai and construction projects around the world as well as photographing and research unusual building designs.

    Goodbye Eye, hello Metro station! That station is being built at incredible speed. Please do keep up with these before and after images because they are fascinating.

    Wow, what a difference in a short space of time! It's a shame they needed another stop only 600 metres from the other one.

    I love these images, shows you how much it's changed. I wonder when it gets to a point and things don't change for a while

    Have a good Sunday and thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto

    HI Suzanne, that is a crazy quick! I can see the top of what i think is the eye in the bottom photo and can see the top of the station in the top photo. They can't even get a garden shed up in that time over here!

    They don't mess around there do they? When you think how long it takes to get similar done in the UK you have to wonder really! :D #sundayphoto

    Wow, it is incredible how quickly buildings spring up there. They would all take years to appear in the UK.
