Burj Khalifa, in the clouds

This was shot from the car of Burj Khalifa, the tallest artificial structure in the world, standing at 829.8 m (2,722 ft), with 124 floors and located in Dubai.

Patti was kind enough to link me to this blog about a group that scaled Burj Khalifa. Scary pictures even to look at -- I'm glad we stayed on the ground! http://blog.joemcnally.com/2015/03/17/the-magnificent-lads-on-the-side-of-the-tower/

Another picture posted today of a thrilling encounter with a falcon:

Yes Helen, the weather was not good but the building in-between the cloud is grogeous; still a ' on top of the world ' shot. V

Very nicely captured!

I can never quite believe the Burj Khalifa is real and this image makes it look even more like a special effect for a sci-fi film. V
Chris Morton19-Jan-2015 18:02
somewhat rubs in how high it is!
John Hamers19-Jan-2015 17:53
