Muse Food – The Dubai Frame And Transitions

By Cynthia Sax on February 10, 2025

While we were in Dubai, the Dear Wonderful Hubby captured this awesome photo of the Dubai Frame. It is a structure joining an older part of Dubai with a newer part of Dubai and is an absolutely stunning work of art.

It also highlights the importance of transitions – in terrain, in stories, in our lives.

Writing transition scenes isn’t my favorite part of the storytelling process. Often I struggle with them.

But those scenes are key to reading buddies enjoying our stories. It allows them to leave the previous scene behind them and fully embrace the new scene, entering it with our characters.

Put care and love into transition scenes. (smiles)

The Nights Come Alive In Dubai

By Cynthia Sax on January 29, 2025

One of the best ways to get a good overview of Dubai on a first visit is to take a Hop-On Hop-Off bus and tour the city.

When we purchased a two day pass with City Sightseeing, they included a free night tour.

And stars, Dubai is beautiful at night. There are massive brightly lit moving billboards along the highways. Most of the major sites are gorgeously lit.

This is the Dubai Frame, a structure joining an older part of Dubai with a newer part of Dubai.

This is the Museum Of The Future. It reminds me of the bean in Chicago.

Both of these photos were taken from the moving bus. The driver kindly slowed to ensure we got great shots. (smiles)
