We hope this comes to America and we hope by then we win the lottery - then we can buy floating homes for all our peeps!...
The world is about to get a little more luxurious. The man made islands of Dubai's 'The World' will be home to a fleet of buoyant homes known as "The Floating Seahorse". The big attraction of these 2.8 million dollar houses is the master bedroom, which is underwater, and features a massive window, making the surrounding waters into massive fish tank.
How do they do that?? So this dude right, takes his mom to a 'traditional' dinner in the desert but before getting there, he takes her on a car ride she'll never forget...
Wow. What just happened there? From what we've read on comments, it seems Lamborghinis are not meant to idle so long as their engines run very hot and need to be constantly moving. Revving the car up while stuck in traffic doesn't help the situation either. Someone was yelling to get the driver's attention but he continued on. Eventually he did pull over - but not after the car turned into a raging inferno...
Does everything have to be 'the world's biggest' in Dubai? Yup! Now they have the world's biggest indoor butterfly park housing more than 15,000 butterflies and pupas from all over the world across 26 different species which will increase to 40 over the next few months. There's also the Butterfly Garden and the Miracle Garden ...
Some say it's the best flow motion vid produced by man. Dubai Flow Motion captures Dubai in a dynamic an exciting way. Apparently, Dubai is a world-record-breakers obsessed city. So much so that the Guinness World Records has even opened an office there last year due to unheard of growth of records across the region - 103 by 2014!Among some of them like the “tallest residential building” or the “longest driverless metro network”, the Burj Khalifa has set tons of new World Records like:
Tallest existing structure
Building with most floors
World’s longest travel distance elevators
World’s highest observation deck, installation of an aluminium and glass façade, nightclub, restaurant and New Year display of fireworks!
Filmaker Rob Whitworth says his first impression of Dubai was that of super-tall buildings jutting out of the desert sand. However, after 3 months of exploration, research and filming, his lasting impression is of the eternal wonder of the desert and the importance it holds for the Emirati people...
Said to be one of the world's tallest residential building, the 79-storey Marina Torch or Dubai Torch Skyscraper in was ablaze with two separate fires. No-one was injured, however hundreds of residents were left homeless after the blaze which police said was caused by a cigarette butt...
Never mind the synchronized skydivers in Dubai, (which were great by the way), we were more interested in the Palm Islands they were performing over. We've never heard of these islands before, so of course, we had to research it and all we have to say is - wow! after watching the second vid below which proves once again, when you have money, anything is possible...
These aren't your typical aerobatic flying stunts going on here in this vid and all we're going to say is that you'll just have to watch it till the end to know why...
Swiss ex fighter pilot, Guinness Book record holder and first man to fly with a jet-propelled wing, Yves Rossy A.K.A. Jetman is back in the sky pushing the boundaries of aviation by completing a sensational formation flight with Aerobatics Champion Veres Zoltán in Dubai!
Interesting and beautiful time lapse of a famous city in the United Arab Emirates.
This timelapse was originally shot back in November 2011 and you can see the original, static, framing on this channel. I thought it was about time I had a go at re-cutting it to try to show some of the interesting stuff going on that perhaps you'd not notice if you watched the original "edit".
A few differences to the original upload. This is the 28 hour version, not just the 24 hours shown in the original, and it's now run at 30fps to try to get it to fit to the music a little better (I can only add the music after uploading, so can't quite nail the editing quite how I'd like to). White balance has been sorted out, and of course there's the pans and zooms to hopefully draw your attention to the stuff going on (watch out for Orion rising!). It still runs the sequential 28 hour timelapse unchanged though - no time editing going on here, just spacial edits.
