The Dubai Creek, UAE

This magnificient watercreek was built more than a century ago, serve as a water way from the Arabian Sea curved into the desert land, it serves both the commercial and the people moving around. I like this boat ride because it give you a picturial view of the lifestyle and architectural view along the bank, both historical and modern.

The waters look so blue and inviting, the sun so warm and the landscape so varied and interesting.. All the makings for an enjoyable boat ride! I LOVE the way you have captured it.. so much activity around the docks, people of all ages waiting to take their turn in the boats.. One can almost hear the sounds.. people laughing and talking, the water lapping against the boats.. Excitment in the air! Fantastic watercolour.. really takes you there! :o)
