Dubai Metro on speed

I stumbled upon this video of the Dubai Metro by Gerald Donovan recently. It shows the journey from Nakheel Harbor and Tower Station to Rashidiya Station - currently the longest journey that can be taken on the Red Line. Set to the music by Vladimir Horowitz playing Prokofiev's Toccata in C, Opus 11 - it has a madness to it that goes very well with this clip.

This video was shot a a few days after the official opening of Dubai Metro on 9th September 2009, which explains why there aren't many stops, since only a few stations opened in September. But according to latest news, more stations on the Red Line will open by the end of April. Fingers crossed.

I was making a video just like this but found it last week so I gave up, it great and the window was clean unlike my shot.

Totaly uninspired - waste of time, officially the lamest thing I've seen on the internet for ages.
