Expanding Shadows
One of my favorite scenes anywhere in the world is Downtown Dubai from behind the city after sunset. Suddenly all of the buildings appear as shadows and at that moment you truly get a sense of how big the city is. I often get surprised by how quickly the shadows are changing because of the speed at which Dubai grows. Somehow each day the shadows appear a little different than the last. Then, just like that, the street lights illuminate the highways like electric veins and the city glows from within.
