Behold the Burj

I cannot better a blog post by Karl Sharro, a Lebanese architect, celebrating the completion of the Burj Dubai as the world’s tallest building. He takes some well-aimed shots at misanthropic and environmentalist critics who are whinging about this tremendous achievement (also see my 11 October 2008 blog post).

Those who want to get a clearer idea of what the skyscraper looks like can view the photo gallery in this article in Der Spiegel. Or they can take a visit themselves.
