The Burj Khalifa

Dubai

United Arab Emirates

Views from observation deck at level 148

which is 555 metres (1,821 ft) high.

The total height of the Burj Khalifa is

829 metres (2,722 ft, or just over half a mile)

We were waiting to go somewhere

when I noticed this shot.

I leaned back a little,

captured the image and

was promptly asked not

to take anymore photos.

High above the surrounding statues in Oslo’s

Vigeland Sculpture Park is this one of a woman

apparently being atacked by a reptile of sorts.

Along The Great Ocean Road

you will  find the

Gibson Steps…

…and its beautiful, sandy, beach.

The Eiffel Tower

appears rather imposing in this image,

however, it is only 1083 feet/330m high

and dwarfed by…

…Dubai’s Burj Khalifa

is 2,716.5 feet/828 metres high

and the world’s tallest building. 

A much larger building the Eiffel Tower

This elephant was telling us where to go

and I, for one, was happy to let it

have its territory until

it is disturbed next.

Standing 828 metres above the desert floor

plus another 2 metres to the tip

(830 metres in total)

it’s fair to say that the Burj Khalifa

is the highest tower in the

United Arabs Emirates.

In 2022, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa,

at 830 metres / 2723 feet

from ground to tip… 

 

is still the world’s tallest building.

A series of telephoto images…

…to give an idea of just…

 

…how high the Burj Kahlifa is.

The Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai stands

 828 meters or 2,716.5 feet tall.

 

Whereas the Shard, a relatively new tower in London,

is only 309.6 metres or 1,016 feet tall.

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.
