Although 42 photographers registered on-line to join in the Worldwide Photo Walk in Dubai today, only 13 turned up for the event (mainly because the Walk Organiser changed the timing and location only the evening beforehand !!). So, now that my bitching is out of the way, here are a few of the photos that I took during the walk through the streets of Deira and Bur Dubai (in the sequence in which they were shot) ....

Reflections of the building across the road.
