My second time in - The Eye of The Emirates, Al Qasba

Eye of the Emirates

It has been a while since my last visit to Al Qasba where the Eye of the Emirates can be found, so I decided one Saturday to go back and enjoy the sunset.

If you're gonna commute going over there coming from Dubai, you have to catch the bus bound for Sharjah in Union Bus Station or the one in Deira City Center.

Intercity Routes

Upon reaching Sharjah Al Jubail Bus Station, we took a taxi to Al Qasba

which cost us around I think AED 15-20.

Roamed around looking for food!

and found our fix!

Chicken Butterfly with spicy rice

enjoying our food fix with the Sunset at Al Qasba

and just that, my day was complete!

Reach for the sky

Keep your eye on the prize

Forever in my mind

Be my golden sunshine

It's raining in your mind

So push them clouds aside

Forever by my side

You're my golden sunshine

Night Lights - Trying Out Long Exposures

It was quite a while since the last time I watched the sun setting here in Burj AL Arab

public beach so I dragged a friend to watch it yesterday.

I was so excited and brought my Sony Alpha 6000 with me

to take photos only to miss it (it's a long story ~.~).

Deym!

And, since the sun was already on the other side when we reached, I decided to breathe in and out all the disappointments (i was sour :P) and bide my time watching the horizon changed colors.

Twilight : the darkness was chasing the light away and settled in.

I still wanted to stay and have the camera with me, so I thought of exploring the long exposure shots. I have not fully explored different shots yet and I it was just the best time so I fired up and tadaaaa! Not that good but good enough for me though, for now.
