Al Bastakia

Al Bastakia Area in Bur Dubai dates back to the early 1900s, and occupies the eastern section of the old town along the Creek, extending to a length of 300 meters, and depth of 200 meters in the southern direction. This area represents an important area in the history of architecture, and the urban development of town. The masons who constructed the building, therein have left an indelible mark on the town's heritage. The area has always fascinated visitors to Dubai and artists, who are enamoured by its elegant wind-towers, gypsum decorations and woodwork, and the lanes that meander through the district.

This was my first shoot with 24-105 f/4L lens. While paying, I thought it was an expensive lens, but after looking at the photos, I think it is worth every dirham (or penny)
