The architectural pride and joy of Dubai, the Burj al Arab beside the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. This photo was taken from my favourite bar, 360 Degrees, which is located at the end of a pier and gives a great view of Dubai's main icon.

Post script - I tried going back to the same bar a year later, this time armed with a better lens and more importantly, a better grasp of aperture values, exposure times and other things related to night photography. Unfortunately, the bouncer took a look at my Canon 20D (exactly the same camera I used the first time round) and said that (despite being a paying customer) I was not allowed to take photos of these two buildings since my camera looked "professional". My friends' compact and point and shoot cameras were allowed regardless of the fact that some of them had a higher megapixel count than mine. Duh!
