Dubai Skyline
The skyline of Dubai is punctuated with steel buildings that make up for cloudless skies. It’s a modern wonder of the world, and is picturesque in a very neoteric way. Like the Singapores, Tokyos and Shanghais of the world, it makes for a very vivid postcard view, don’t you think?
Standing Tall
A beautiful view of Burj Khalifa from the base of the magnificent building. The tallest man made structure in the world at a total height of 829.8 m (2,722 ft) will soon be over-shadowed by the Creek Tower that is under construction (estimated height of at least 1,000 m or 3,300 ft).

Basadi and Holy Shrines
The Gometeshwara statue at Shravanabelegola is not the only shrine to visit on the Chandragiri hill. The hill is full of different Basadi or Jain temples where pilgrims offer their prayers and wish for things. This is on the other side of the Odegal Basadi. More of a place to congregate and celebrate, the place…
