Black feather on the path

In the little village of Kastellaun, I found a quiet place at Burgruine Kastellaun.

The castle is only a ruin, but it is a peaceful walk.

Burg Kastellaun

My thoughts are for my family, friends and for myself to find good health and forgiveness.

Black Feather

Along my walk I spotted this black feather.  Can this black feather on the path truly mean "Spiritual Healing".  I share the following:

"A healing is taking place. Your body has felt depleted of energy the last few days, and this gifting is to show you that your thoughts and prayers are being answered. Have faith and trust that you have been heard. A new adventure is on the horizon. You are being guided to let go of past hurts from an old friend. The energy of forgiveness is needed for you to move on. Forgive and let go. Allow the energy of healing to surround you. Breathe in new energy. Breathe out the past. 

Your energy is being heightened and a much needed healing has taken place. You are being asked to let go and let God, Universe, Spirit to lead you now where you need to be.  Be at peace."

I can only wonder...

Dubai Camel Races, Al Marmoom

Today, the weather is still great in Dubai, so John and I went to experience Camel Races at the Dubai Marmoom Heritage Festival.  It is always an adventure just getting to the correct highway.  We arrived to see hundreds of Camels.

Great Festival

Notice the trucks in the background, these are prizes, rows and rows of them

Many cameras filming each race, the big screen shows the action

I am very curious about the camel with the checkered duds.  I wonder if he belongs to Tom or Jason Glass?  Maybe not, he did not win this race.

Camels, Trucks, Emirates, Everyone is racing.
The start line is impressive with so many camels at the gate. The owners of the camels are in their trucks, ready to drive along side.  Honking horns, cheering on their camel.

This camel turned back, along with two more, Not racing today, He says...

It is very orderly, as the camels line up for the next race

Hundreds of Camels waiting to race, 

  

I am sure he is looking for his camels..  Behind him there are hundreds

Camels

Great view point

The Finish line has a few viewers, the owners race along the track in their trucks.

The finish line.

So Darn cute..

Decoration around the park is so cool

We had a great morning at the races, they start early here. 7 am, maybe earlier.  I thought they would be finished before noon, because of the heat.  But hundreds more to race after we left.  The races go til March 31 at Marmoom, I hope to go back.

Dubai Walks, even if it is 40C...

Camera in hand, here I go;

The Barjeel Guest House, On the Creek
The mist shown in my photo shows how humid it is
Great Staff, Good Food, Wonderful views

The watch Tower dates back to the beginning of Dubai

Wind Towers, important before a/c, to
keep the air flowing

Walls in the homes and the school were
built using coral and sand

Original Door leading to this Heritage House

Visiting the Museums is a great way to learn about Old Dubai

Lock on my door

Alleys are quiet in the mornings before opening time

Shopping from around the world

It is fun to go for a walk and not buy anything..

Dubai has hidden culture...  Wonderful colour

Dubai New and Old

Dubai is such a contrast of New and Old.  The creek is close to the Old Souq is alive with activity.

"Together" 4.25 m.  Clad in a flowing white dish-dasha, the male figure has been sculpted in Carrara marble from Italy, while the kandoora-clad female sculpture is made of black granite from Sweden.

As I meet tourists on my walk, I ask where they were going; answer the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall.

Each time of day the building shows its beauty

Dancing Waters, Dubai Mall

Soon to be "Dubai Eye"

Burj Khalifa

Souq

Cayan Tower or Infinity Tower in the Marina is incredible; 73 stories

Golden Horses Lead the Way to the Qasr 5 Star Hotel
