***EXCLUSIVE*** DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES:
Workers look on as one of them is seen abseiling down the outside of the building.
Incredible never-before-seen pictures show how the new world's tallest building is still unfinished just three days before it's official unveiling. The jaw-dropping Burj Dubai is a mega structure its makers hoped would show off Dubai's new wealth and industrial might. Cash-strapped developers will finally end a six-year slog to put up the colossal building with a glitzy ceremony on Monday January 4, 2010. But these images show the half-completed mess hidden inside it's towering walls as the city's big day looms. Photographs taken on New Years Eve show a ramshackle of bare concrete walls, piles of unused materials and exposed pipes. Construction workers are also visible racing to make finishing touches. Thousands are said to have been rushed in over the weekend before the inauguration in a desperate push to complete the job.

Being used by a road construction worker, on a local road where construction was being done. A traffic paddle is a good way to control traffic and get the attention of drivers. This is one paddle that has two different traffic messages - STOP on one side and SLOW on the other.

The demolition for the 6th Street Bridge took place Superbowl weekend without incident. The first stage of the nine-month long demolition was to dismantle the 200 foot long section spanning over the 101 FWY. Crews worked around the clock beginning late on Friday evening, and reopening the 101 on Sunday morning.

While having breakfast with Richard at McDonald in SW at the corner of South Capitol and I Streets I'd read an article in December 2005 isssue of The Southwester www.swdc.org pertaining to the 23 October 2005 dedication of the Peace Memorial Garden which on 1 October, located at the corner of M and South Capitol Streets in SW, I had unknowingly photographed two Men At Work www.flickr.com/photos/perspective/54733736/in/photostream/ who at the time were preparing the soil for the future garden.
When Richard mentioned that he was going outside, of McDonalds, to the patio to take a smoke and would return, inside, in a few mintues to continue reading the paper I'd say that I would head back home ... and take some pictures ... along the way!
Wanting to photograph the newly installed Peace Memorial Garden I'd walk along Eye, turn right unto First Street and walk toward M Street. Since in September 2005 I had begun photographing "Men At Work" www.flickr.com/photos/perspective/31594129/in/set-705008/ in the Unit Block of M Street and so as to add a few more images to that collection www.flickr.com/photos/perspective/sets/705008/ I would take this series of images before heading over to the SW Peace Memorial Garden, which is just a block up the street.

One last major project for the year involved adding new maintenance free fascia and soffits to the house. Having some handsome young construction workers doing the job was a side bonus!

I would first photograph Steve, the surveyor, on 26 November 2005 at www.flickr.com/photos/perspective/67116772/ whose name I did not know until today was born and raised in WDC. This picture was taken across the street from 20 M Street at the southwest corner of M and First Streets, in front of the Navy Yard Subway.
