EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, titled "Abra (cross-creek ferry) chugs past dhow wharves and modern buildings of Deira" we are transported to the vibrant cityscape of Dubai Creek in the United Arab Emirates. The image beautifully captures the harmonious coexistence of tradition and modernity that defines this Middle Eastern metropolis. As an Abra, a traditional cross-creek ferry, gracefully glides through the glistening waters, it passes by bustling dhow wharves where these iconic wooden boats dock. These dhows have been part of Dubai's maritime heritage for centuries, serving as vital vessels for trade along the Arabian Gulf. Contrasting against this rich historical backdrop are the sleek lines of modern skyscrapers that dominate Deira's skyline. These architectural marvels stand tall as symbols of Dubai's rapid urban development and economic prosperity. The composition is bathed in warm hues, accentuating both the natural beauty surrounding Dubai Creek and its man-made wonders. The image invites us to imagine ourselves amidst this dynamic scene - feeling the gentle breeze on our faces as we witness daily life unfold before our eyes. Tony Waltham/Robert Harding masterfully captures a moment that encapsulates not only transportation but also travel itself - a journey through time and culture. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in an ever-changing world, there are places where history intertwines with progress seamlessly – creating unique experiences for those fortunate enough to explore them firsthand.
