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.

bridge
a structure carrying a road, path, railway, etc.
across a river, road, or other obstacle
~~~~~
To me, this is the most famous, or infamous bridge in the world.
I think it was a Primary School teacher who
introduced me to Florence’s
Bridge of Sighs.
From that day forth it was always
on my mind to see/visit in person
Was it because I crossed it in a previous life?
Some I know would heartily agree.
Dubai’s elevated railway appears to be
one long bridge stretching through the city.
One of my favourite New Zealand landscapes.
Finally, the bridge everyone recognises.
Sydney Harbour Bridge.
