All images were taken with…
Camera: Nikon D90
Lens: Sigma 18-253mm
Focal Length: 18mm
Dubai’s, Burj Khalifa.
***
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.
Focal Length: 52mm
At 52mm it appears reasonably tall
and on par with its neighbours.
Focal Length: 18mm
At 18mm we can see that the building is
of average size when a
neighbourhood comparison is made.
However, we can also observe that all
of these six buildings are comparatively tiny
when we take in the height of the camera.
The arrow indicates building
in the first image.

Looking up to the top of the Burj Khalifa.
Can you see how the concrete in
the middle foreground of this image,
(bottom) looks a bit like a kidney bowl?
My first image…looking up…was taken
while walking along that area.
A giant bicycle wheel?
The London Eye could be easily mistaken for that.
Ben does not appear that big from atop the Eye.

Auckland’s Sky Tower…

All that aside, whether day or night
the Sky Tower
provides excellent views of the
Auckland Harbour Bridge.

Burj Khalifa…the largest/tallest building
I have ever been in.
An elephant’s ear…rather larger
than any other ear, I have seen.
However, those ears look right at home
on their owner.

The Burj Khalifa is the largest subject
I have ever photographed.
Although a large elephant it barely makes
the medium category of my photos.
My smallest subject…a dung beetle.
Small, medium and large.

Arras,
France
Our night cruise on the River Seine
gave us a multitude of river-side parties…
annd a different perspective
of the Eiffel Tower.
The drive back to our hotel took us past
the Arc de Triomphe…
…and also city lights.
After arriving in Dubai at 0400,
we had a quiet day…
…prior to boarding a Dhow for a…
…Dubai Creek Dinner Cruise.
Just a few colourful images…
…from our Diner Cruise on…
…Dubai Creek.
Night two saw us on a desert safari and dinner,
with entertainment provided by a fire dancer…
…and a belly dancer.
A great time was had and if you don’t mind
sand from horizon to horizon you
will love the experience.
Me?
I’m not a fan of sand.
