April 2, 2012 A Palm Sun Day

I am reviving an old IOTD. I picked this up from a blog written in 2009 and thought it beautiful enough to run it again.

It is incredible what a dream and endless amounts of money can do.

It was a dream come true for Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who first revealed his dream of a manmade island in the 1990s.

The property developer Nakheel Partners, threw in about $30bn worth of projects that turned that dream into a reality.

One of the wonderful side benefits of the project is that it created all kinds of reef for the fishies and there are quite a number of fish that weren't there originally.
