Happy New Year

This was taken while balanced precariously on top of the actively-cycling roof-mounted air conditioners of an 18-story apartment building in Deira, Dubai. My ambitions were thwarted by obscured viewpoints, strong winds, precarious footing, and my use of a monopod instead of my too-heavy-to-pack tripod.

This is the tail end of an attempt to set the record for the world's largest fireworks display.

Now to get into bed for a few hours' sleep. Sunrise is in five hours!
