Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt – Curvy

20076Oct

by Grace

This week’s theme: Curvy

You must have seen those typical hotel buildings; same boring framework that forms a square. The Burj Al Arab in Dubai is different, it is curved in such a way to resemble the shape of a sail, a tribute to the country’s main livelihood of fishing and pearl diving before the discovery of oil.
