Easter Weekend at Docklands

Good Friday was the start of my week long Easter break and if you think I should be celebrating, well, you are so wrong. Assignments piling up as high as you can possibly imagine and all are due the week after the break. How great is that huh? Well, I spent last Saturday at the Docklands to visit my site for the final project for studio. I love the Docklands. Its so nice and scenic though it was kinda hot. The buildings there are absolutely beautiful. I did show a few in my past post but this post is all about the buildings there. There will be more pictures of the Docklands in the coming posts because I will be going there often this semester...

And it seems like the people like to come here for their wedding photos. This was not the only couple getting married here on Saturday, I say around 5 different bridesmaids outfit when I was walking around the Docklands.

And at Habour Town,

A pet Dino was entertaining the little children and the crowd.

It was causing mischief and scaring the little children.

It even stole somebody's shopping bag and the poor kid had to get it back... One way or another.

Poor kid.

I'm scared
Stealing from the dino
But in order for him to get the bag, the dino/raptor have to be distracted... So 2 volunteers were selected and they had to do the chicken dance (typical) to distract the beast so the kid can get the bag back. But thankfully he did get it back.

The site which we were given was opposite the Etihad Statium which had a nice view of the bridge, the yatches and all the building around.

Some of the scenes near the site.

But the beautiful thing about the Docklands is the abstract structure/sculptures they put up and also the view of the city.

Just lovely.

But most of all, the loveliest thing about the Docklands is the water glistering in the sun creating stars on earth.
Going to enjoy my site, Going to enjoy my projects... Wish me Luck!

Aaron C. said...

Well, i am using a Fujifilm Finepix F11. Its an old model, a compact camera but its great for taking outdoor shots.
