Today I’m going to present only three Luxor Temple image favorites because I’m also sharing a video from our transit through the Esna Lock. So, here are today’s additional Luxor Temple photographs:
This week and next I will present images and videos of Dubai. Today will feature a short version of the daily magical, music-synchronized Dubai Fountain show on the manmade Burj Khalifa Lake, which is situated beneath the Burj Khalifa. The Burj Khalifa has the distinction of being the tallest structure in the world, but more on that Wednesday.
Some fun stats on the Dubai Fountain situated in the 30-acre/12-hectare artificial Burj Khalifa Lake:
Length: 902 feet/275 meters
Height: Shoots water up to 500 feet/152 meters
Capacity: Can spew up to 22,000 gallons/83,000 litres simultaneously
Nighttime shows are illuminated by 6,600 individual lights and 25 projectors
Fountain shows are synchronized to music ranging from classical to contemporary
The following is a recording of an accident my dash cam captured on Tuesday, 18 June 2024 in El Paso, Texas on North Mesa at Remcon. When we got to our destination I called the regional police substation and advised that I had a video. Alas, I guess visual evidence was not important enough to warrant an EPPD officer following up with me to obtain a copy. At any rate, I’ve cropped the video to enlarge the relevant scene, as my dash cam has an enormous 140º view.
