5th: Traffic on Many Levels
by Helen Betts

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Taken at the Dubai Camel Races. Difficult to catch from this distance, but I was fascinated by the race going on, the cars racing beside them and the mass of new construction in the background, a real contrast between new and old, modern and traditional, in the emirate.

Thanks, Mike. Yup, a helicopter would have finished it off perfectly, LOL. The trip home (if you can call it that) has been a difficult one for many reasons and is still not over yet. Seems like one thing after another goes wrong... But hopefully we'll all settle in at some point. Helen

Many levels for sure, Helen. Too bad there wasn't a chopper in the middle distance to really finish it off (you could always cheat! ;-) ).

Happy homecoming, BTW - it's been a long and eventful trek. I can still recall your travel arrangements having to contend with the chaos that followed 9/11.
