Upon Elephant Mountain


"This was taken from Elephant Mountain just outside of Taipei. From here, it is possible to get a real perspective of the massive size of Taipei 101, until recently the world's tallest building. This elderly gentleman was doing the same". Taken by Dale

  3. Great perspective! But Dubai Tower - even though it's not finished yet - already is the tallest building on Earth! That's amazing. Did you know that they build it in such a way, that it will be possible to make it even taller? (just in case some other place wanted to have 'the tallest construction on the Planet'). I really like your idea for a blog. I had similar idea when I created my site. Oh, and I live Che and Osama photo!

  4. Yes, I do know about Dubai Tower; that's why I mentioned that it was until recently the tallest. It was interesting getting here right after that announcement; many people did not get the message right away and still tend to bill it as the tallest. I have ceased to offer corrections, because it is still a massive and impressive construction.

    Thanks for all the comments :)

    Can't wait to see what's going to be next, I mean after Dubai? Sky is the limit!

  6. Awesome capture... although it seems this guy is almost at the same height. ;-)

  7. The photographer does not look "elderly" to me. I guess that term is relative.

  8. You're right. It is a relative term. I'm at a ripe 23 and may have used the wrong term. I was typing too fast, and intended a comparison, something that meant "older than I," and thus probably more experienced (his equipment much nicer than mine, and he had not moved into the darkside of digital. Apologies!
