20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
The Giant

Overshadowing all other buildings in Dubai, and the globe for that matter, is Burj Khalifa, at 828m the world’s tallest free standing structure since its opening in 2010. This day to night combination of a total of 6 photos before and after a gorgeous winter sunrise provides a view of the Downtown Dubai area in which the tower is located, with the city’s lifeline, Sheikh Zayed Road, as well as the Dubai Metro, running across the frame in front.
