Burj al Arab  by cocobella

Burj al Arab

On the Jumeira beach in Dubai there's this hotel, now iconic I think, it really looks like a giant boat. This photo has been taken from our hotel balconey, on the Palm Jumeira ( you probably have heard about the artificial island in a palm tree shape), so from our point of view, this boat sail's was really giving the feeling that it was sailing on the water.

Very effective, to leave the horizon near the bottom of the frame, and the gradient of blues into the sky is excellent.

Smashing! At first I thought that it was the Portsmouth Spinnaker tower but then realised that the colour of the sea (and sky!) at Portsmouth is the same as cold, stewed tea so this couldn't be that particular monument!
