Burj Khalifa
This is an image I took at the official opening of the tallest building in the world. The Burj Khalfa on 04/01/2010.
The Burj Khalifah - last minute name change from Burj Dubai, in honour of the ruler of Abu Dhabi, also the president of the UAE, who gave 10 billion dollars to partially bail out Dubai.
It cost 1.5 billion dollars and took 6 years to complete.
Half a mile tall - 168 floors. The design is said to be inspired by the shape of a desert flower.
It was quite something being at the opening. The firework show was immense.
