Tall Buildings Getting Taller

This is Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The street is Hamdan Street and it looks to be a rather old photo. A quick glance online shows lots taller buildings in this area. Jennifer writes that this city is becoming more modern every day. Indeed, in the distance, a crane is just barely visible on a top of a building, perhaps adding more height.

Abu Dhabi is 3-4 hours by car from where Jennifer lives, though it depends on how fast you drive. I suspect if I were driving, it would be 5-6 hours. I'm a bit of a pokey driver.

The postage stamps on this postcard are quite large, and look very much like photographs.  I don't know who the men are, but the one in the bottom image has Paul McCartney eyes.

  2. Hello BonnieJeanne! Thank you for blogging my adopted orphan. Reading it made my day. And thanks a lot for the surprise postcard you sent my way. My mailbox (not as cute as yours, though) was very happy that day. :)
