Pic(k) of the week 43: Dubai, melting pot of cultures
In todays world where we far too often generalise, Muslims are sometimes wrongly looked at in a negative way because all the stuff going on, in places like Syria and Iraq. As a non-muslim, I would however like to highlight how people from more than 200 (yes, two hundred!) countries, are peacefully living together in the multicultural city of Dubai.
Beside the huge melting pot of people, there is also a nice contrast of the urban architecture in Dubai. The very last image I took while test-shooting the Fujifilm X100T last week, was one of a mosque just after sunset, with the 7-star Burj al Arab hotel in the background. To me the image illustrates how different worlds can perfectly live together!
