The desert bus
Deep at the Rub Al Khali desert, from Abu Dhabi to Razeen, an old school bus marks the entrance to a camel farm.
I took some images during sunset. Two hours and five kilometers later, using the same cam and lens, i imaged the winter milky way.

On my last day at the city, I walked Lower Jarvis street all the way down to the Sugar beack Park. On the junction with the overhanging Gardiner expressway, I noticed this beautiful urban skywindow.

The trails are highly dashed, due to so many passing clouds.
