a very nice capture of such a famous landmark. somehow the tales of fantastic photo gear prices in dubai makes this a sort of important symbol of freedom from 'oppressive policies related to pursuit of photography' traditionally perpetrated by some regimes elsewhere in the world through the mechanism of obscene customs duties, that too in this day and age of free trade.
