Burj Dubai

Here's one of a series of unbelievable aerial photos taken by David Hobcote of the Burj Dubai skyscraper—the world's tallest building, very very close to completion after 4.5 years of construction.





It more or less trumps the world's eight tallest buildings otherwise (just eeking above our work-in-progress Freedom Tower), but does shamelessly employ the 'gratuitous antenna' trick for a few hundred more feet.
