And there are guys wandering around on the girders! I'd feel sick looking out from the mezzanine floor!

Moving back to Dubai after 22 years has been an experience! Back then we didn't have the internet or blogs. Now we do I can jot down my thoughts on daily life, things we come up against, things we enjoy, the multi-national society, the laws, the weather...plus other things in general which catch my attention.
About Me
- Seabee
- We lived in Dubai from 1977 to 1984, visited on a couple of holidays, then moved back again in 2005. We came because we wanted to watch the incredible development as it happened and we moved back to Oz in 2011. I now blog on Life in Oz and the link is on my last post here. I welcome comments & debate on the blog, but insults are unnecessary and inappropriate. I will delete any which are libel, racist, obscene, advertising or which are simply to make a point but are completely off-subject. If you want to do that, create your own blog. Oh, and I've decided to add a new category to the delete list because there are too many of them left on blogs - stupid comments. If you want to use my photos or quote from my posts you may do so - but only if you credit the source and give a link back to my original post.

did you take this picture? how on earth did you manage to do that?
The fisheye lens doesn't help, does it? And that sucker must be moving around up there... a few feet of lateral 'give' and you'll be 'blowing up chunks' as the charming Australian expression has it... :)))
seems like he is on a crane
No, I didn't take the photo. Not for anything would I be able to go up there! It was sent to me by a friend in the construction industry.
I also think the photographer is probably in one of the tower cranes.
ahhh i see!..it would be nice to go up there and take an "i've beenthere" kind of picture...but not on the tower crane...maybe on a safe fully slabed floor..:)
Does anyone have any idea what the sink plunger (far right of the photo) is for?
The sink plunger looks as if it is a light fitting, maybe a beacon.
Poor workers must be terrified!
It's even more impressive from the top!
waw... really nice photo a friend of mine sent it to my inbox... now i found it here, so in place of sharing it on my blog i will simply give my comment...
amazing photo, amazing view, wish I was there for a sky dive hehehhe.
cheers!
