Sometime in the 1930’s small shelters were built into and around many of the boulders. This shot is looking through a doorway, then through a window, then through a hole in a distant boulder, of one of these unique shelters.

Dylan writes: "At night when the island empties, you can wander the alley ways and hear the sound of piano wafting through the shuttered windows (the island is famous for piano schools and players)" And finally - this is an awesome light enhancement of Skoda Fabia, by JogiART: (click to enlarge) (image credit: JogiArt) ------------ Ski in the desert "Forwarded by my brother" Department: Dubai, United Arab Emirates... in the middle of the desert... is a self contained Ski Resort - Permanent Link...

On the Dubai Ski Resort, the same company that built it are supposedly set to build another here in North Texas. The "Bearfire Ski Resort" will have an astroturf-type surface in place of real snow. According to a news report about it a while back on CNN, it's the same surface they used on this Dubai resort. I'm sure you can find the report on YouTube.
