Abu Dhabi, 1998, 2010 & 2012

Images from a brief press trip in 1998, plus subsequent short stopovers in Abu Dhabi, where I lived and worked in 1983-85. As ever, the streetscape was turned upside-down by never-ending roadworks and very litle was readily recognisable. See also my separate gallery from the Heritage Village.

These images were taken with Nikon D300 using RAW format, and are available for licensing.
