When we moved to Dubai in December 2014, I started taking photos of where we lived and places we visited. It soon became apparent that Dubai was changing almost weekly, so I decided to start documenting the speed at which it was being built.
However as construction is being completed, my view points have altered, new buildings have meant I haven't been able to stand in the same place to update the photo's.
Also I've discovered not everything is built at the same speed and this building The Address Residence Sky View in Downtown Dubai, seems to have come to a halt, you'll also notice that my view point has altered somewhat from the 10th floor of Dubai Mall.

Amazing! I do love these Dubai photos, it seems like the most incredible place. #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteit is amazing to see the speed at which they build and how the skyline changes so much
DeleteThat looks a very interesting building. The size of these things hurts my brain! I'm not sure whether I'd like to be in the central plaza above the ground or not!
ReplyDeleteme neither, although when you get inside these buildings it all feels ok
DeleteCan see that your view has altered! Your images do make me wonder how long Dubai can keep this up. I know it's the land of milk and honey but wowzers, the development is on a crazy scale. Look forward to seeing more images as JLT goes up!
ReplyDelete/i wasn't able to get up onto the roof for a long time
DeleteI wonder what the story is behind the halting on the build. Fascinating to follow these #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeletethere are a few changes, if you look closely at the second photo
DeleteI can imagine how big some of these buildings are. I wonder why this one came to a stop?
ReplyDeleteHave a good Sunday and thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
I don't think it's stopped, there are a few changes in the smaller photos
DeleteThat must be very disorientating - how do you ever remember where you are?
ReplyDeletethere's a whole new road layout I have to use tomorrow, so yes I'll be lost for sure
DeleteDid you ever think that you would be needing a place to take photos as a building rises?! That sounds like something I would do :) Progress is all around whether we like it or not.
ReplyDeletenot at all, i find it all fascinating
DeleteHi Suzanne, ha... I knew there must be a faltering build somewhere in Dubai! I actally love the lighting in that top photo and I can't beleive how high that pointy building looks. It looks like a huge rocket.
ReplyDelete#MySundayPhoto x
there are quite a few buildings that have come to a stop here
DeleteThe buildings in Dubai always look so interesting...Fab photos x
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteWow. Such monstrous buildings. Mega constructions #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeletei love watching the tv programmes about them also
DeleteGood luck on the new project you're very skilled at architectural photography. I love the hint of sunset in the first photo.
ReplyDeletethank you, it's becoming an interesting hobby
DeleteIt reminds me of a rocket about to launch!
ReplyDeletei keep thinking 'thunderbirds are go'
