The Burj

[dubaiphil]

Until the building of the Burj Khalifa, the Burj al Arab was simply known locally as "The Burj"

(Burj = tower in Arabic, so not a particularly creative title!)

Here's a colour version of a previous shot, taken from Mina A Salaam hotel

Ahhh, another Phil quality shot. Very enjoyable with all the nice colours and the bits and pieces to look at.

My eyes or some sort of optical illusion - there seems to be a very tiny tilt to the left.

Thanks Bobo

I think it's an illusion. I made all my verticals vertical when stitching with PTGui software.
