Burj Khalifa, formerly known as Burj Dubai, is a skyscraper in Dubai, UAE, and the tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m (2,717 ft). I’m sure all of you have seen some pics during the past years as the construction began on September 2004, but the famous tallest building in the world officially opened on 4 January 2010, and so, there’re new things to see.. We will see a bit of everything in this post, from the building itself to the opening ceremony that occurred recently. We’ll also take a look on photos of the construction, photos taken from different heights of the building, photos of the fountains and we won’t miss the world record of base jumping that has been established few days ago. And don’t forget to watch the videos at the end of the post..

It is an open-pit mine, and is located just outside the Arctic circle. It is more than 600 metres deep. It’s so huge that I wonder how much time it requires for the trucks to go from the bottom to the top…  This selection contains various animals with their mouth wide open, whether they are yawning, communicating, attacking or anything else )) Some are really funny… NB: there’s an intruder at the end ;)  Wacken Open Air (W:O:A) is one of the leading summer open air heavy metal music festivals. It takes place annually in a small town in northern Germany. It attracts all kinds of metal music fans, such as fans of black metal, death metal, power metal, thrash metal, gothic metal and folk metal, from around the world. The 2009 edition set a sales record; it sold out on December 30 2008. All 70,000 tickets were sold over 200 days before the opening of the festival.  The observation platform, located in the crown of the Statue of Liberty was closed to visitors since September 11, 2001. This platform will be reopened for visitors on Fourth of July this year. In the meantime, a small group of journalists was allowed to go and have a little peek. A photo report is after the jump.  |
