Fluidr / Burj Khalifa Dubai by John Arthur Thompson

Looking this morning on Flickr at an impressive post of photos by Sue Milks, taken last year on her visit to Dubai brought a flood of happy memories back to me. Having visited there so many times myself,
I decided to look back on my photo of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, at 828 meters high and 163 floors.
Early one morning in 2015, I needed to walk around to find a place to take a photo and get the full building in my frame, finally, I found a small opening between the many surrounding buildings, where I could take the above picture and the best I could manage
What an amazing building
