The Burj Khalifa, known as the Burj Dubai before its inauguration, is a megatall skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is the tallest structure in the world, standing at 829.8 m (2,722 ft).
The Y-shaped plan is designed for residential and hotel usage. A buttressed core structural system is used to support the height of the building, and the cladding system is designed to withstand Dubai's summer temperatures. It contains a total of 57 elevators and 8 escalators.

This is one of the walls of Park Avenue silhouetted against the perfect blue sky, Arches National Park, Utah.
This was taken on my last London visit early this month. This is a new viewpoint for me from the end of an overhead pedestrian walkway or pedway and part of the barbican estate. This is overlooking the street called London Wall where there has been a lot of new development recently. I found it because I was checking out some streets on Google Street view and came across a new pedestrian bridge over the road further to the right of where this was taken. This led to more exploration of this area as night was falling. The Pedways of the City of London have an interesting history. They evolved out of a plan to transform traffic flows in the City of London by separating pedestrians from street level traffic using elevated walkways. First devised as part of the post World War II reconstruction plans for London, it was put into effect mainly from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, and had been largely discontinued by the 1980s. Many have been lost to new skyscrapers and the main area with a continuous network remaining is the Barbican Estate which London Wall adjoins.
The picture was taken with a tripod with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle at 10mm. I took 3 shots for HDR processed in Photomatix using Tone Balancer for a natural look. Topaz Clarity for more detail. There was a fair bit of processing to get it just right. Just one image was used for the people on the pavement and even then looking very ghostly. Hue saturation adjustment layers were used to warm up the lights inside the buildings and bring out the reds in the traffic trails some of which started out a little faint. I cropped for better framing. I used filter- lens correction- perspective to bring the buildings upright.
