Recently I also started posting on Instagram. It’s mostly random shots from my camera, but I just started also posting my regular photos. You can find me under instagram.com/miroslavpetrasko. And just few days ago, the @Dubai account shared one of my photos there, which got over 31000 likes. Always great to see a big response to one of my photos :)
Yachts in the marina
I don’t want to know how much a yacht like this costs, but would love to visit one one day :) This very beautiful big yacht was visible from the top of the Cayan tower, and despite a very heavy wind on that side of the tower, I decided to try to zoom in and get a photo of it. And surprisingly, it came out quite nice.

Do you own an apartment at the Cayan tower or do you take your pictures from the roof? I love the shots you take from there and I was thinking of trying my luck at replicating your shot of the Palm Jumeiriah. Would they allow me to go up to the roof for the shot?
No I don’t. I don’t live in Dubai :). And sorry, I can’t really help you, I was there just because some of my Dubai friends helped me.
