Another song title introduces today's photo. This time by Leonard Cohen. I expect there will be much singing when the Burj Dubai is finally completed, as it will be the tallest building in the world. It is estimated to be 800 meters tall when it's opened sometime this year. As it's so tall, I had to chop a bit off the top so you could see the base, or footprint which is one of buzzwords of the moment.
Imagine how scary it would be if there was an earthquake or Bin Laden does his worst!
ReplyDeleteSo what are you up to in Dubai? :D

Wow thats real? I would have guessed it was a drawing of a proposed building that would never get built. I wonder how many elevators it will take to get to the top?
ReplyDeleteThe last I heard they still had not decided how tall the finished building will be. The owner keeps wanting to add more, and they keep adding on to the height. It will be huge though!
ReplyDeleteamazing photo! dubai must feel like you are witness to the creation of one of most captivating cities on earth.
ReplyDeleteDubai is one of the seventh wonders of the world. Awesome place!
ReplyDeleteHusband of mine, we must take a trip up to the top of this hotel when it opens. Maybe we can start a new club call the 'Burj Dubai club' rather than the 'Mile high club'. Saucey hey!
wow that looks amazing! and looks a bit industrial to me. i wonder what it feels like to be on the top floor...
