Umm Al Quwain

I went to Umm Al Quwain today to look at the Marine Club, and spotted a herd of antelope in the grounds of one of the Sheikhs' palaces nearby .... but this was the only one that wanted to be photographed !!

In the central reservation on the road outside the palace grounds, there were dozens of flower pots in the shape of castles !!

Another day trip to Northern Oman

There were two unattended donkeys walking along the mountain pass road from Khasab towards Dibba.

Amazingly, this donkey stood perfectly still and posed whilst I took his photograph, then after my camera shutter had fired, continued walking slowly along the track !!

This is one of the Arabian dhows that goes on cruises from Khasab harbour around the Mussandam Bay.

Latest GMC must-have car accessory

I cannot believe that this is legal (even in Dubai), but this GMC was parked right outside the Police Station at Dragon Mart today ....

Feeling vulnerable and threatened by other road users, even in your monster GMC truck ?? Then buy these neat billet-aluminium bolt-on wheel trims, which will easily ensure that any cars that get slightly too close to you will soon be history, as the rapidly rotating spikes quickly slice clean through their thin body panels, and instantly take out their tyres, causing them to crash uncontrollably.

Also perfect for slicing off the legs of any pesky pedestrians that dare to get slightly too close to your truck as you pass them by !!! Definitely the best method of combatting the appalling driving skills in the U.A.E. - get them before they get you !!!

Photo Shoot with new model on Sharjah Beach

I went to photograph an upcoming new model on Sharjah Beach today ....

Although at least 20 years younger than most of the ladies that I photograph, Chelsea loved modelling for me .... so just remember when she is famous, I was the first photographer to work with her !!! LOL
