Imre, your photographs keep getting better. I am really enjoying the latest. Especially the photographs taken at night and the photographs that include the water features.

Somebody photographed a large panorama of the Burj Dubai. They should have used a different software viewer. They should have used krpano instead of zoomify. Krpano allows you to use the entire screen by pressing a button.
Very large panorama ( explorable )

These are the highest placed revolving doors in the world!!

They are specially made storm resistant.

I can't help but feel the second picture in the previous post is photoshopped to squeeze the whole tower in there ... it looks way smushed, not to mention the perspective is way off.

gnmpf74 · #**8167** Posted **Dec 31, 2009, 9:09 AM**

Looks like both pics are photoshopped....

Apex · #**8168** Posted **Dec 31, 2009, 10:00 AM**

wow you're right ... in fact, look closely, both of them use the exact same cutout of the burj. the first one is just a little less obvious. how lame!! how hard could it be to get an actual picture of the place?

I spent 6 hours inside today, special thanks for the CoxGomyl (www.coxgomyl.com ) again , Dony ,Stuart and me done a very hard job today , climbing inside a spire is hard job and need to concentrate a lot , only one mistake and game over!

Just 5 pics now but tomorrow I will start to organise the pics and videos and hopefully you will see many interesting pics of the Burj Dubai.

Happy New Year For All Forumers and Skyscraper Lovers !

Fascinating pics, Imre

All the little spots on the streets are just cars. Looks like the pics were taken from a plane or helicopter...

Any pics from inside the spire?

I also wish everyone a happy new year!
