IBM Sandcastle

During Ramadan in the year 1426 (according to the Islamic calendar), Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai, UAE, hired some master sand sculptors to work in sand in the China Court of the mall.

They built this amazing city full of detailed minarets and domes - it was a masterpiece.

  3. Moi: alas, I'm nowadays confined to 2 point-and-shoot cameras as detailed on our blog here. One day I'll be able to get a real cmera again, but for now, the challenge and fun for me comes from getting optimal results out of the cameras that I have!

    DReb: I wonder how often this happens when bloggers miss each other because of our anonymity? :-)
