Hard Rock Cafe - Dubai :)

Let's Rock 'n Roll for a better TL world!!! :p

I waited at least 10 minutes just to wait for the lenses to adjust from the 18°C cold restaurant to the 40°C hot weather outside. Cold surfaces, especially very thick glass lenses attract condensation.
The giant guitars are made of solid concrete... hard as rock :)

Exposure Time: 1/1244
