 This is the interior of the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai (this thing)

It's almost 600 feet to the roof, but without any perspective it kind of looks like a dollhouse.

To even get over the bridge into the hotel, you have to either book a room or make a reservation at a restaurant. I got a table for 1 at the skyview bar, had an overpriced scotch, and then went downstairs and shot this.

Looking back on this, I really wish I could have added something in that would have given it the perspective needed to show how high up this roof goes.

Dumbfounded that this didn't even make the Top 30, Rob.

Surprised this one wasn't in the top 10. It's actually so good that it looks completely fake.

Nice purples, best of the group I thought. I like the perspective as well.

This is very nice. I like how you got the lights to sparkle up the middle. Colors are awesome.
