Desert or Dessert

My sister was in Dubai a few weeks ago and she showed me a number of photos she took during her trip there..... As seen in many documentaries i have watched on Dubai and its expanding development... its just amazing to see Dubai's over the top ambition of reality.... stretching the engineers to their limits to achieve remarkable results... im sure we all have seen the famous Burj Al Arab Hotel right?...

well...,... meet its taller in-land cousin the Burj Dubai... which once completed will be the world tallest building... and when they set about building it ...they weren't kidding about it being tall......


My sister and her colleagues took a tour up the the Barj... all the way up there... since it is still under construction the lift is on the perimeter of the building and its an open lift.... with just a perforated metal cladding around it..... ,,,,,,, ...im guessing that they all dont surfer from the fear of heights ........

I'll leave you with a silhouette sunset of the ever changing skyline of the dubai ......



......... nice pictures CJ, very nice.... u are my sister afterall :P
