Scrap share.........

Remember how I used that stamp then water coloured it, I finally used it for a layout I only adding a bit more paint, some rubons very basic.

This is my parents wedding day way back in 1952, 20years before I was born..... How's that after 20years of marriage they still were having kids!!!!

Have a great day, HUGZ

More Red bull pics............

We went back to see the air race again yesterday so here are some more pics..............









I found myself thinking my camera and lens weren't good enough to capture the moments as I wanted......... I should be happy that I have an SLR at all.

Sorry about not being round.........

We had a little hicup with the internet for the last few days but all is good now..........

Yesterday I went in to town to watch the qualifying session of the Red Bull air race, not the best for taking photos as the sky was very hazy and then you had the smoke from the planes too.

But all the same it was awesome to see.


The pics are not that great...............










These ones I played around with for a little fun......






Ok will catchya tomorrow..... HUGZ

A day at the beach.........

I took the kids to the beach in town yesterday to keep them occupied while on school holidays.

The kids did enjoy it but I ended up being disgusted by the state of the beach, as it was covered with lumps of concrete and Kalin ended up with some very nasty scratches on this feet. Am I just a very spoilt Australian who is just used to beaches that are kept clean!!
The Corniche beach in Abu Dhabi is a tourist destination, especially this weekend as it will be hosting the Red Bull Air Race, and to find it in this state is a major disappointment.

Construction is king...........

The UAE is full of construction sites from the worlds tallest building the Burj Dubai (due for completion late 2009) to an anamazing amount of homes (Villas) that are appearing at a incredible rate, it is all around you and really there is no escape from it............ There is little if any worksafe practices in this country and hence there are a lot of site accidents and deaths.

I was so taken by these guys for using the frontend loader as a work platform I just had to take some pics............






I even got a wave from them.............




Seeya tomorrow, HUGZ
