Jumeirah Lakes Towers on March 5th, 2009

Had a walk with camera and tripod through our neighborhood tonight. Today is such a clear sky, perfect for shots from distance

I recommend looking at the panoramas in high resolution. Especially people who might never have been here should get a decent impression of how the skyline of JLT looks from the back-country.

And for the real building enthusiast a huge close-up panorama:

Here another one from tonight while walking through our neighborhood with the tripod. Not farther away than my posts from yesterday, but yet again from 18km distance. On this pic you can grasp the distance a little better I think, since you can compare Burj Dubai with the villas in the foreground.

Wow... I'm simply speechless!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing these with us. Some of you night shots are just incredible. I'm assuming you're a professional photographer?
