a large, imposing building

Immediately two buildings
came to mind.
…Dubai’s Burj Khalifa Tower, and…
Tower Burj Khalifa

All images shot with a Nikon D90 DSLR
fitted with a Sigma 18-250mm lens.
I have included the 35mm equivalent for comparison.
Marvellous how a lens can manipulate distance.
These images capture from
the Burj Khalifa’s 148th level.
Focal length 22mm. (equals 35mm eqiv)
Same scene…focal length 52mm. (equals 83mm eqiv)
…and with 250mm focal length. (equals 400mm eqiv)

The Eiffel Tower 324 metres high
appears taller than it is..
However standing at 828 metres high
Dubai’s
Burj Khalifa
dwarfs the surrounding city.
From the viewing area in the
Burj Khalifa Tower
the Dubai Mall Fountain
is barely visible.
And yet those buildings are
four or five stories high.

Burj Khalifa vs other tall structures.

Short things from all over.
African Dung beetle has a load
which is taller than it is.
Stamen and leaves win the
height battle over the bee.
A baby which is bigger than most,
but still has many years to go
before it can look mum in the eye.

A curved line and plenty of straight lines.
Old and new buildings with one thing in common….lines.
Some obvious vertical and horizontal straight lines.
Again St Paul’s Cathedral displays some obvious
and not so obvious line.
From 555 metres above the ground level
on the 148th floor of Dubai’s
Burj Khalifa Tower.
Zoom in for a closer look and still lines everywhere.
Finally, a never before published image…
well not on this blog 🙂
Still at the Burj Khalifia Tower.
This image is just left of centre…

Seems there were many towering photo
opportunities during our European holiday.
The Tower of Pisa.
Maybe not a tower per se, but
York Minster does tower over visitors…
…and locals alike.
The ceiling of
Notre Dame de Paris
also towers above its visitors.
And still towers over Paris…
…rivalled only by this Parisian tower.
On our way back Down Under
we stopped off in Dubai
for a few nights.
I think the Burj Khalifa Tower is my favourite
just for its sheer size.

Looking over the edge of the Burj Khalifa’s
148th floor Observation deck
nearly 2,000 feet (1821 feet to be precise)
above Dubai city…
…and the buildings below appear to be miniatures.
The Burj Khalifa also stands next to the Dubai Fountain…
…where from the edge of the pool we watched…
…the fountain perform to
‘It’s Time To Say Goodbye‘.
Sadly, for us, it was time to
say Goodbye to Dubai.
