***EXCLUSIVE*** DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES:

Some of the lighting system of the Burj Dubai.

Incredible never-before-seen pictures show how the new world's tallest building is still unfinished just three days before it's official unveiling. The jaw-dropping Burj Dubai is a mega structure its makers hoped would show off Dubai's new wealth and industrial might. Cash-strapped developers will finally end a six-year slog to put up the colossal building with a glitzy ceremony on Monday January 4, 2010. But these images show the half-completed mess hidden inside it's towering walls as the city's big day looms. Photographs taken on New Years Eve show a ramshackle of bare concrete walls, piles of unused materials and exposed pipes. Construction workers are also visible racing to make finishing touches. Thousands are said to have been rushed in over the weekend before the inauguration in a desperate push to complete the job.

Who would have imagined we'd be this connected! Even my twenty-year-old son comments about it now and then.

This is what the outside of SM City North Edsa looks like right now (Aug. 25, 2008)

Masonry workers toiling away inside plastic weather sheeting at a building construction site in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The temperature at the time was 17 degrees with a wind chill factor of 2 degrees.

Construction workers.

This is only a portion of the construction workers lining up to enter the Green Park tube station - don't know if this is part of the cooling project or perhaps the Cross Rail project (although the closest stations for that new line are Bond Street or Tottenham Court).

Finding enjoyment during their hard work.
