One fine day in Emirates Palace

I almost forgot that I haven’t posted these photos yet. As I wrote early this month, I took some photos before the Picasso Exhibit and after the felt-like underwater dining experience. No much stories this time. Enjoy looking in. =)

I noticed the structures in UAE have pretty and well-conceptualized ceilings.

I think everyone is welcome to take a look of the Palace. But with some restrictions, of course. I’m not able to see everything yet. I want to find out if some of the rooms up there are made of gold, as they say.

The kid in me felt like a princess for a while when I was there.

BlogusVox 09.16.08 at 6:06 am: Awesome especially the dome design. Is this where the Royalty of UAE lived? Kasi, here, you can’t come even near the palace where the king reside.

No, they live in a different place. It serves mainly for Abu Dhabi’s special functions and other regale things.

I’ve started Breaking Dawn. I re-read several chapters in Eclipse. I’m so kilig especially at the tent scenes.

You’ll most likely find structures like this in Mid East, because of the type of government and culture. Philippines has its own beauty.

Jeanny 09.16.08 at 4:12 pm: I got dizzy with the first photo.

If you did not mention that it’s a ceiling, I’ll mistaken it as a photo taken from a high stair

Great shots

Oh well, I should have not captioned that one and asked the readers instead. The view/ place is just so amazing that even an amateur cam will produce pretty shots.

inhinyero 10.07.08 at 5:41 am: we got the same photo taken in the emirates palace (first pic posted here) i thought someone grabed it on my friendster account. me and my fiancee also hit the picasso exhibit on the last day, sad we cant take any pics of his works especially the goat scultpture..nice blog btw.congratulations!

[Reply]
witsandnuts 10.07.08 at 5:54 am: I think everyone who went in the palace actually took the photo of the ceiling. That’s one of the most photographed areas in Emirates Palace.

I’ve just had the screenshots of the photos in Picasso site. I was itching to take a photo of the exhibit, too.

Thanks for dropping by.
