Airshow

Time zooms. Few months ago, I worry a lot being of jobless for almost a year. Soon, I will be two month old in two weeks time in my new company. So far it’s been great. I think I have adjusted well, the relatively cooler temperature helped a lot. Summer will be coming in a few months though and could very well test me and my allergies. I heard the temperature shoots up to 52 deg C and humidity reaches 100%.

Last month, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) celebrated its 46th National Day. I was lucky enough to witness the spectacular airshow. It was a 2-day event, but I only went to the venue on the second day. I kind of regretted why I didn’t go the first day after seeing the aerial display of jets.

Lots of spectators were at the Corniche Beach area, just a walking distance from the hotel where I was staying. I found it difficult to shoot, chasing the jets and the smoke. I almost gave up at one point but as they say, patience is a virtue. The airshow lasted for about 15 minutes.

I was thinking of staying for the fireworks display but that it will happen in the next 4 hours. Instead, I just waited for the sun to set. And it was a good decision after all. Sunset always gives me hope, that tomorrow is always coming.

I am loving Abu Dhabi. 

Give me more time, and I will get to know it more.
