Dubai photos, take two

[wayfaringwordhack]

I'm going to post photos first and then do a write up of the trip when I have a little more time.

Lantern The lights in the souks and malls were so lovely that I took several photos. This one is from the Madinat, a beautiful but too-clean "souk" built especially for tourists with tourists' expectations of the Middle East.

Monks in the Dubai Mall And one of them barefoot. Unfortunately, the photo I got of them actually looking at the Rolex watches didn't turn out that well. :P

Sneak photography I don't know if all ladies in black where off limits for picture taking or just those from Dubai, but I couldn't resist sneaking at least one.

Your pictures always make me so envious of your talent... (and camera!)

Oooh, speaking of cameras...Julien wanted me to see if I could get a good deal on a EOS Canon 5D Mark II. It was too expensive, so I didn't buy it. But I made the mistake of trying it. Now I feel I MUST have it. :(

So, the question is: did you think the camera was too expensive before or after J bought the boat?

Bwahahaha.

Especially so after he bought the boat. :P Not the actual price, but budget-wise.

Lovely. I could use a couple of those lanterns for my future wintergarden. :p

If stealing wasn't punished by amputation, I would have snagged one for you. :P Er, I guess I could have just bought one. But I didn't see any for sale.
