A look on perspective
Everyone knows the Bank of America Tower, large, black, monolithical.
For us, it stretches into the sky; miles away its top still stands out for all to see.
Now, with your mind and a pinch of perspective, imagine this MONSTER SKYSCRAPER RIGHT NEXT TO IT!
This is the fabled Burj Dubai, currently being built in Dubai, Saudi Arabia. When it is completed in 2008, it will tower 2300 FEET HIGH. That is almost half of a mile.
And of course... for those who cannot imagine such a tall building...
