En route from Burj Khalifa station into the skyscrapers of Sheikh Zayed Road

Good perspective in this shot Phil - the tracks lead you nicely into the metropolis.

What I want to know is how you get to ride at the front of a metro train ?

and another thing, in case sports news travels slowly to that part of the world, I'll give you an update :

Australia 3, England 0. Game over

Dave (sorry !)

Haha, Dave

I thought it was England 20, Australia 13???

The trains are driverless, so the front and rear are accessible and in the carriage

Now that would be an interesting ride !

Very nice capture.

I like the shot.
But, I have a question...I read/heard someplace that when they built the city, they neglected to build the infrastructure, like sewers and whatnot. Am I correct?

[Wavelength]

Exxxcellent

Nicely composed. Also the featureless sky works with the leading lines to focus the attention on the world of steel and glass.

Reminds me of the old joke about the announcement over the PA system of the first pilot-less commercial airliner...

"Ladies and Gentleman you are now embarking on the first pilot-less airline flight in history. Don't worry about your safety. The system has been fully tested and nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong, go wrong"....
