Foggy Dubai

Foggy Dubai morning taken from the Burj Dubai Tower. Not photoshopped. This is real and when people start actually living in the Burj Dubai, these shots will be ten-a-penny. Til then, enjoy this one!

For those who doubt the legitimacy of this photo, here are some similar shots taken from other buildings:

Wow! Dubai has gone to heaven! Incredible picture...Think of it being in one of those skyscrapers...(cloudpiercers) and going from the top to the bottom....sunny and nice on the top, then extremely cloudy, then at last a normal clouded day :-)

i was fortunate enough to see this building up-close on a trip to Dubai and I can can tell you as amazing as this building is from the ground, this view from the building looking at its surroundings below truly is breathtaking! Looks like a fantasy city in the sky! Great capture and the right place at the right time!

agnesjt says:

Yes, crude (oil) economies like Dubai would need blankets to cover up their filthy arrogance and unspeakable crimes against the labour class. Growing up in that charmless city taught me to discount soulless visual statements and vacuous displays that so many continue to fall for. I can't even tell if Farhan's comment was critical or meant straight.
