Pickie time!

For Wordless Wednesday, Betty in NZ and others!

I took over 600 photos on my recent trip to Dubai, most of them at the World Expo. Don’t worry, I won’t post them all! I’m currently going through them and choosing my favourites. In the meantime, here are a few of my non-Expo snaps.

Here’s Ain Dubai, aka the Dudai Wheel. It’s almost twice the height of the London Eye!

And this is The Frame.

The view from the top.

Last week I posted a picture of the Museum Of The Future.  It’s a prediction of how the the world will be in 2071. I took loads of photos! Here are a few.

Going in!

Going up!

I visited the Infinity des Lumières’ Boutique, an exhibition brings the work of Vincent Van Gogh to life.  You find yourself inside his paintings as they constantly move and change. I was awe-struck.

Click pics to enlarge, it’s worth it!

    Nice photos. That Van Gogh exhibit was here in Detroit. I didn’t go but I know those who did and enjoyed it.

      Thanks, Denise. It’s popped up in various parts of the world, I timed it just right!

    Beautiful shots. I’m sure you enjoyed every minute of your holiday. The city shot has the tallest building in the world I think.

    Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂

      It is indeed Sandee, it’s the Burg Khalifa and it’s half a mile high!

      It is, 135m v 250m! However, the view from the London Eye is unbeatable! Cheers, Steve.

    Oh my- great photos and I cannot believe that city. I’ll stick to the quiet country side! Cheers!

      It’s like another world and well worth a visit, even for a short time. Thanks, Kathe.

    So many interesting odd things in Dubai. Thank you for sharing a few glimpses with us.
    I am particularly intrigued by the empty frame, as it has a surreal quality.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 23, 2022 / 17:15

      Absolutely so, I visit there quite often and there’s always something new and quirky to see! The floor at the top of the frame is glass. I couldn’t look down!

    Those photos look amazing, both the Van Gogh exhibition and the Museum of the Future.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 24, 2022 / 14:22

      They were both incredible but the best is yet to come! Thanks, Jackie.

    Wow, you out did yourself photo wise, these are all extraordinary! Thanks for sharing, I felt like I visited with you!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 24, 2022 / 14:42

      They are just the tip of the iceberg! Thanks, Betty.

    Hi Keith – thanks for showing us these amazing photos … I’ve never wanted to know – but ‘everyone’ (who’s been) talks about the Expo … so I would now like to visit. Some friends have just been – I must ask them when I next see them. It must have been eye-popping … so pleased you had that visit … cheers and enjoy our sun – Hilary

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 24, 2022 / 14:58

      It was incredible! It was delayed from 2020 because of you-know-what, but well worth the wait. Next year, Japan hosts.

      Loving the sun – much easier to handle here than back there!

    What an amazing place to visit!

    Have a great weekend, Keith!

    amazing place to visit!

    All these are amazing pictures and gave me an idea of how Dubai looks like as a modern city. Vincent Van Gogh’s artworks are really wonderful and so much creativity is there.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings March 27, 2022 / 17:18

      Thanks so much, Amila. I’ll be posting more in the weeks to come including more of the incredible Van Gogh experience

    Wonderful photos! I saw the Van Gogh Immersoive exhibit in Denver, Colorado, and enjoyed it very much
