Yes, this mishmash of cranes, high rises, and general disarray is our everyday view. But if you look a little closer you'll notice something we definitely don't see everyday!
???
If you guessed a construction worker... working on the end of the crane... 13 stories above the earth... WITHOUT any sort of safety harness... you would be correct! Only in Dubai, people... only in Dubai...
I love how his leg is hanging down, all relaxed... just another day on the job... no big deal...
CHEESE! He caught me spying and stopped to offer up a giant smile=) He later waved before heading back to the safety of the ground. What a guy!
The boys were not as impressed with the worker's feat as we were... they've been having a lovely weekend too =)

Awesome pics- not only in Dubai though the safety harness is optional if even offered in most of South East Asia too (except Singapore). Here in Cambodia where the buildings are getting steadily higher (although not quite to the extreems of Dubai) a lot of the 'construction workers' are villagers, rice farmers, in the off season and NOT used to being much higher than the back of a Brahman cow or water buffalo and are anything but relaxed about it. Still a dollar is a dollar!
