Summer of Change

People, admit it! Who managed to notice when spring suddenly ended and the first post-crisis summer approached? Or, no, it’s still a crisis. Never mind. We will consider that the first, after financial shocks that rocked the whole world last fall. And the question is, is it now going to go on vacation, as usual, or to hold on to their hard-earned money until better times? Then, the next question is when will these better times come? Or maybe be puzzled by the search for alternative summer vacation options? For such thoughts, you can spend hours, days, and months. But, this is strange, as long as people indulge in optimistic or pessimistic conclusions, and all sorts of analysts and experts (for some reason more like charlatans) predict us, then a quick or slow way out of a crisis situation, life goes on ....

Children grow up, finish school and go to college. Planes fly, and trains with ships go. At construction sites, work is also in full swing, though not for everyone, but it’s in full swing ... Bread is baked in bakeries, and the first grass begins to spike in the fields and gardens, and the trees bloom. In a word, birds sing, frogs croak. Beauty! Summer! Vacation!

In anticipation of the summer holidays, we managed to visit different cities and countries, meet many good people, go to exhibitions and concerts. From our every minute communication with them and the study of the surrounding area, we managed to make one wonderful thought - in the summer we will face big changes. Even if they work or live, but there are changes, and this is always for the better. So - it makes no sense to lose heart.

And Dubai, meanwhile, continues to live in its own rhythm. And he is not enough 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. He has a rapid pulse, which makes everyone accelerate, not make long pauses and quickly respond to what is happening around. We asked our best photographers to look at Dubai through the lenses of their cameras, and as a result we got a cool photo report “Dubai 25/8”. We presented the city in which we live and work, one more hour a day and one day a week. What do we feel sorry for? May he be well this summer. Then it will be good for all of us in it. And people (tourists and businessmen from all over the world) will reach us to soak up the Emirate sun, the salty sea breeze and the east wind ... From which, according to the legendary baby sitter Mary Poppins, we should expect changes. Shall we wait?

Sincerely yours,

Elena Olkhovskaya
