At 2,716 feet high, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa,
in my opinion, rates as tall.
Using my 18-253 mm focal length Sigma lens

The scene at
18 mm focal length.
The last three images were taken from
the observation deck on the 148 floor
of the Burj Khalifa.

The Dubai Mall Fountain and
its surrounding buildings are
fairly high, until observed from…
…from the dizzying heights of the Burj Khalifa’s
124th-floor observation deck.
The outdoor observation deck on the
Burj Khalifa’s 124th, of 148 floors, is 1,483 ft high.
Looking down from that height it appears
that visitors are looking down on a toy town.
The photographer kept telling her subjects to
move closer to the edge.

I think the Burj Al Arab is
a fantastic design both
in and outside.
In comparison, the Burj Khalifa is just plain huge.
The geometrical pattern on the exterior of Melbourne’s
National Gallery of Australian Art…
…exacerbating Melbournian’s love/hate relationship
with the building.
Prior to the 2006 Commonwealth Games
being held in Melbourne,
Spencer St Railway Station was renovated
and modernised.
Its most notable feature is the waves and arches
which now support a similarly shaped roof.
It was also renamed Southern Cross Station.
Around the corner, Flinders Street Station remains
as it was at the beginning of the twentieth century.
To change the exterior facade of
Flinders St would cause a public outcry…
…similar to the outcry when the Flinders Street
clock faces were digitised.
Public backlash forced local authorities
to change the clocks back to analogue faces
with digital workings.
Now Melbournians and visitors alike
are still able to meet under the
Flinders Street clocks as they
have done for many, many decades.

On the 148th floor is the
public observation deck
from where the following set
of images were taken.
Focal Length: 250mm
At 250mm we are looking at part of a building,
the size of which can only be estimated.
