WHOAAAAA , use the wheel on your mouse and scroll back and forth (focusing on the center of it) on this picture posted by UnoMOTO. It kind of messes with your mind. :lol: It's almost 3D,it comes to life.

There are tons of remains from all those docks sitting around. Also amazing the fairy building outlasted all that happen; Still there today.
 
I was wondering that myself. It doesn't look pasted, but I never knew such a thing had existed for real.
 
Thats a very large and extremely well detailed picture considering it was taken in 1906. I'm skeptical but it's still an amazing picture.
 
If I have to milling about at dawn, I'm glad I get to see this kind of stuff out my window:

During this time of the year, the sun rises right behind Mount Rainier. If it's not raining or foggy, the sky and clouds put on an amazing show as the sun rises. It's a photographer's dream: nature does all the work; you just have to sit there and click the shutter button.
 
Damn, some crazy nice pictures. I love that bridge, I so want to go there.
If you like bridges, Multnomah Falls is just a bit closer than Buxian Bridge. Not quite the same, but still very cool. The view from the top is a bit disappointing, though. :guilty:

This is what confused me last time. I see a great big highway moving through this picture. But I see no roads at all in between these buildings. They appear randomly plotted in the dirt with no infrastructure around them. In New York, Chicago, and just about any other city with big buildings we have the building, a sidewalk, and then the street. Sometimes big buildings are their own block.

And how the heck are you supposed to cross that highway? I see no under or overpass or intersection. Is this city designed for people to walk through tunnels from building to building? Has this city even been designed at all?
 
Looks to me there is a reasonably large walkway above the highway if you want to cross it.

Nope thats a railway in construction.
As for the road, there are occasionally places to turn off onto long slip roads which then branch off onto other roads and shops . The sheikh zayed road is more like a motorway that happents to run right through the centre, if there were small roads branching on and off it I think it would be dangerous and slow traffic.

O.o...

Now let’s think about it for a sec, man made islands that look like palm trees and a map of the world, an indoor ski slope in a place that’s 120 degrees outside. The world’s largest mall and tallest building built in a barren wasteland of a place. What in Dubai actually makes sense?
 
^^ Well put.

It's a concept seen everywhere; money doesn't buy wisdom or taste, so it's all about the flash and style.

No. Because all the buildings & attractions you see are either of the prince's decision or another company basically being given the right to build anywhere they want, the roads then have to pretty much built out to that location. The city has been criticized before for not being well developed, grid-wise, and hides some nasty locations for the poor.

You could have said the same thing about Vegas a while ago.
