brijonmang Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 That area in the foreground reminds me of the Atlantis hotel in the Bahamas with the landscaping and waterway. The Burj al Arab building in the background looks surreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

names Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 It would be nice if a person about 6' was in some of the photos. Can't really get a sense of scale from looking at the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 It would be nice if a person about 6' was in some of the photos. Can't really get a sense of scale from looking at the pics.

It's amazing to think that nearly the top 50 floors are all mechanial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
