The skies were grey today in Dubai. As always I heard people say “yes but where’s the rain” or “it’s so dull”. Well I’m sure the rain will be here when it’s ready and then we will complain when it floods! The sun will be back very soon and later, we will be too hot!
There’s great beauty to be seen when the skies are grey. There are things you can see in Dubai that you don’t see when the sun is shining. Some buildings appears to stand out more when they are not upstaged by the sun. The colours around can seem changed. What was grey can become pale lilac; what had no colour now has presence, the sky that was pale blue is now a metallic midnight framed by white and grey cushions. Looking in the water, through the waves, instead of the silver sparkling on the surface, the sea gives up its glaze and we see what’s inside. (Sometimes good, sometimes not so much!)
It probably makes no sense but is feels different. There’s a calm that seems to settle, like a lace blanket quieting the scene.
I love the sun; the brightness, the warmth and the feeling of wellbeing that it awards. It is one of the reasons I love living in Dubai. It’s easy to take the sun for granted but it is only on loan, and so while it’s away we get to see something else; instead of Dubai gold, Dubai silver.
Hey would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re working with? I’ve loaded
your blog in 3 different internet browsers and
I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you
recommend a good hosting provider at a honest price?
Cheers, I appreciate it!
Hi. Of course. I am just using WordPress . com they are the hosts. You just need to set up an account and choose a theme. (it would have been nice to get a comment about the blog itself 😉 )
