Well work took me across to the Middle East this week, I stayed in Dubai for a couple of days but unfortunately my schedule did not really allow me to go out and take many photos while I was there.
However the fates smiled upon me as from the room in the hotel where I was staying I could see the Burj Al Arab (truely a stunning building)
This photograph was taken from my room on the 5th floor leaning through a small gap in the window. It was taken at about 6:30 in the morning before there was too much traffic around and the haze of pollution fell upon the city although you can see atthe bottom of the frame there is a little haze and the sky is not the stunning blue of advertisement posters
I am not sure how it is going to do in the challenge, not least of all because I know a few pictures of the Burj al Arab have already been entered in other challenges, I have to say I love it though, when I knew I was going to Dubai this was a shot I wanted to come home with and given the circumstances I think it worked out as well as I could have hoped

How exciting this trip must have been for you. That building is stunning, i bet even more so in real life. I have seen it in documentaries and the thought of it just blows my mind.
I bet this is gorgeous to see in person, especially when contrasting against a blue sky. I don't know why this did not score higher. Looks centered to me. Oh, I like the white line in the border. I think that's a great complement to the building.
