Zu 'Time To Say Goodbye' von Andrea Bocelli und Sarah Brightman sieht man die größte Fontäne der Welt 'The Dubai Fountain' bei Nacht.
I've had requests for some footage of the Metro in real time, so will upload a few clips over the course of the next week. Here's the first - Nakheel Harbor & Tower to Mall of the Emirates (reduced from HD quality as I think it's too big for YouTube to cope with)
Last one. Appreciate that some might not be too keen on the music :) The Dubai Metro was officially opened at 09:09:09 on the 9th of September 2009, by His Highness, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai. This video was taken today, and shows the journey from Nakheel Harbor and Tower Station, to Rashidiya Station - currently the longest journey that can be taken on the Red line. It's a fabulous achievement - building from scratch an automated public transport system in just a few short years, and without doubt will transform the city of Dubai, and serve as an inspiration to other cities in the region, and further afield. This is my way of saying "thanks" to those with the vision to embark on such projects, and to those who work tirelessly to provide them for us. The music is Vladimir Horowitz playing Prokofiev's Toccata in C, Opus 11. It was recorded a long time ago.
The Dynamic Tower, the world's first building in motion, will become a symbol of Dubai, the City of the Future. "Designed by Life, Shaped by Time" Visionary architect, Dr David Fisher states, " Modern life is dynamic, so the space we are living in should be dynamic as well, adjustable to our needs that change continuously, to our concept of design and to our moods. Dynamic buildings will follow the rhythms of nature, changing their direction and shape, minute by minute, from sunrise to sunset, season to season, adjusting themselves to the environment. From now on, buildings will be alive , creating a fourth dimension of Time, to become part of New Architecture, and transforming the shape of the skylines of the world. " --------------------------------------------- This video is a compilation of a few other videos available, mainly www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.dynamicarchitecture.net Credits and acknowledgement to: Dynamic Architecture by David Fisher www.dynamicarchitecture.net Background music: Narnia - The Return of Aslan Jimmy Oliveira - Just Memories ------------------------------------------------ This video is literally my first ever COMPLETE video that I actually put my full EFFORT into. =D because myself am MARVELED at the structure itself. . ~*.+.*~ The structure of the future. ~*.+.*~ .
Update - Warner Music Group, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to block this video in certain countries due to the music in the background. The mentality of these half-wits is beyond me. Nobody is going to rip off the background music to this video in order to get a copy. If anything, this video, and others like it, can only serve to enhance their revenues. I'm speaking as someone who in their lifetime has spent in excess of $50000 on purchasing music legitimately, and who - up until today - doesn't have a single piece of music that they haven't paid for. Today, that all changes. I'll never pay a single cent for any of their product again. If something comes out on any Warner label that I fancy, I'll no longer buy the CD or pay for it on iTunes, I'll simply rip it off. Same goes to SonyBMG for blocking some of the other videos in some countries. I guess this is the one people will be most interested in! Canon 5D MkII and the 17mm TS-E.
