New Year's Eve - Record Breaking Fireworks, Dubai 31 Dec'13

Taken during the record breaking fireworks display in Dubai on 31 Dec 2013 / 1 Jan 2014... This time most of the photos were taken by my son, Siddharth, as I was busy covering the event on camcorder... The area covered was The Burj Al Arab; The Palm Jumeirah; and The World Islands... The fireworks covered 94 kilometers of the city’s seafront, broke the world record for the largest fireworks display on Wednesday (1 Jan 2014)... The six-minute display lit more than 500,000 computer-controlled fireworks across Dubai’s iconic landmarks including the Palm Jumeirah, the World Islands and the Burj Al Arab... Revelers by the thousands gathered early along the coast of Jumeirah to watch Dubai greet the New Year with a bang... It took us 3 hours to reach back home due to traffic, instead of the normal 20 minutes drive...
