According to the sign, when the old Gas Board offices are finally demolished the land is going to be used to build a swanky new hotel. Indeed the picture is of something so grand it will put any of Dubai's finest to shame. Yeah, right!

Nice shots!! You found some great perspectives there - and it's perfect in B&W - especially with all the barbed wire. You'll have to get some shots to show us after the fancy new place goes up :) lookagain · 2009-02-21: 12:52
