Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building, piercing the futuristic skyline of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

It’s a wondrous structure which shimmers and glitters at night across the city. It was quite a challenge to fit the entire building into a frame from quite close quarters. Crouching on the ground and some extreme tripod angles were the only answer – a sweaty job in a very sultry 35C.

This is the first image from a trip to Dubai and the Indian Ocean island country of Mauritius. Further posts inspired by captures from these travels will appear here regularly.
