Sand

On a 767 from UAE to Saudi Arabia. Sea colors are pure and innocent but the coast shapes nervous and bizzare. Many dessalinator plants work furiously to provide urgent and impelling Saudi needs. Thirtsy and sandy land. Once the plane start flying over the desert, the earth becomes invisible. Pale yellow clouds, wind and sand. Nothing for thousands of kilometers, until Riyadh.
Wind in Saudi brings dust everywhere. Warm and sandy air through my nostrils on the way back to my hotel.

Kingdom Centre, Riyadh

It's a typical early June day in the Saudi Arabia capital. Dust and humidity, dense air covers the city. Kingdom Centre is a giant shadow very far away, but as the cab moves towards the skyscraper, it becomes cristalline and soft. Shopping malls colored neons start to shine as the sunset approaches. Kingdome Centre reveals its unusual geometries, tough angles and imaginative surfaces. Riyadh is imponent, friendly and calm. Its peaceful soul just asks to be discovered.

Hard Rock cafe, Dubai, Sunday night

Sunday working day very long. 830pm I need a legendary epic-burger. 100 meter from my office Hard Rock cafe, Dubai.
Two 10-meter-tall guitars stand in front of the main entrance.
Unlucky selection of videos during my quick meal, including Cinderella (oh !) and a special dancing event with all the HRC staff shaking their bodies randomly and hazily with the luxurious rithm of 'Cadillac-eye Joe', the techno legendary song by Rednex.
On my left a Kevin-Spacey-looking guy stares at me while I am divoring my burger.
Some turists are loosing their time here. For me it's enought to go back working
