Dubai Sunset

This photograph, taken back in 2003, shows the silhouette of the Dubai skyline against a stunning sky at sunset. The tallest building back then and seen in the middle of this cityscape was the Emirates Towers Hotel. The city has grown significantly since then and now has the Burj Khalifa Tower which is currently the tallest man-made structure ever built at 828m.

Alien Outpost

This radio tower on the summit of Mount Titlis in Switzerland reminded me of some alien outpost on some distant strange planet, which given the location is not too far from the truth. The day we were there at the summit ranged from bright sunny and clear conditions to thick swirling clouds with snow and even a short walk away from the cable car station you could easily get lost in the low visibility.
