Another picture from Dubai Mall, this time of a diver on a wall of water.

This is one of the glass and steel ceilings of Dubai Mall (yes, I know it’s upside down: it just looks better this way).

As I may have mentioned, Madame is a quilter and quilting is undoubtedly an art form.
This is a waistcoat that she made for me a couple of years ago that was exhibited at the International Quilt Show in Dubai. To my mind it is undoubtedly a work of art (and yes, I do wear it. In public, too).

There are 26 letters in the English alphabet which, put together in various combinations, is enough to make up millions of words.
Unfortunately, though, sometimes – as in this textile shop in the Dubai souq – what seems like a logical juxtaposition can convey quite the wrong message…

Madame and I recently had the opportunity to attend the International Quilt Show in Dubai, organised by Classic Quilts Dubai.
You don’t have to be a quilter in order to appreciate the talent and effort that goes into producing these works of art. And for a photographer, there’s a whole world of colour and pattern to admire, enjoy and seek to capture.
There is also texture and that’s what I’ve focused (sic) on here. These photographs show some of the detailed work in a selection of the quilts that were on display. They stand alone as images, but they also give a further impression of the extent of the work involved in the quilting process.
Images of the quilts in their entirety can be found by following the link to Classic Quilts Dubai provided above, or on their Facebook page.

It’s often hard to say where lines become patterns. One answer could be ‘hotels’. The images in this post all feature hotels in either Abu Dhabi or Dubai.
