Cloudlands of Dubai: Dreamy images of dawn breaking over the desert city taken from the 85th floor
Dubai is a busy city and the heart of
the United Arab Emirates is continuously moving and expanding sideways
and upwards, but in these photographs it appears calm and at peace as
the morning fog engulfs even the tallest skyscrapers.
Shot from the 85th floor of the Princess Tower in the Dubai Marina, these stunning images capture rare moments of tranquility.
The colourful photographs give a different impression of the Middle East capital dubbed the 'City of Gold'.
Clouded view: The busy capital of the Arab
Emirates is engulfed in a fog bank, completely covering the crowded
streets below, making the city appear as calm as the surrounding sea
Spinning sights: Looking over the edge from the
85th floor of the Princess Tower in Dubai Marina is enough to give
anyone vertigo
A city awakens: The morning fog is wrapped like cotton wool around the skyscrapers of Dubai as the sun rises
German photographer Sebastian Opitz
captured the magnificent urban landscape by defying the Princess Tower’s
dizzying heights and early mornings.
Sebastian, 34, said: ‘During the foggy season I check the weather
conditions every night and if it looks promising I will make sure to be
on top of a tower around by 4am.
‘By 9am the fog will have evaporated
so rising early is crucial. It takes a lot of dedication and a good
portion of luck to take such pictures.
‘It is so uplifting to be up there
during these weather conditions and being able to capture the moment
with your camera after weeks of waiting for the right conditions is more
than satisfying.
Wall of fog: A view resembling a scene from
Hollywood blockbuster Day After Tomorrow the fog appears top be welling
in over the city like a waterfall, completely engulfing all but the top
of the highest towers
Imagining reality: The the 2,722-foot Burj
Khalifa stretches high above the fog into the sky, in a shot that looks
more like an illustration for a children's fantasy book than a
photograph
Beacon of light: The Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, lights up the night sky in Dubai
Once he had braved the early hour,
the only difficulties that arose for Sebastian was a lack of
understanding from the security staff
‘I am constantly being told that "professional photography is not allowed". That is very frustrating to say the least.’
Oil-rich Dubai is home to the tallest
building in the world, the 2,722-foot Burj Khalifa, and the city is
about to begin building works on the world's largest Ferris wheel on a
fake island off its coast.
Pretty in pink: Dubai in the early morning, the calm before the storm of the rush hour
Peachy skies: The slowly sinking fog reveals a number of cranes as the oil-rich city continues to grow upwards
Dizzying heights: The stunning photographs were all taken from the 85th floor of the Princess Tower in Dubai Marina.
On the move: One of the many cranes of Dubai peaks through the morning fog
Rearing to go: The mist clears as the city wakes up and a new day dawns over the oil capital of the desert
