Now this is cool! Although it really looks like it, this incredible photo wasn't taken from a plane; believe it or not, it was taken from the 85th floor of the Burj Dubai. To date, it is the world's tallest skyscraper, although it will be overtaken by the kilometer high Burj Mubarak Al-Kabir in Kuwait when it's completed.
Check out the gallery, all images are from Flickr and are either views looking down from the Burj Dubai or of the enormous building. The stunning photos are care of BurjDubaiSkyscraper.com.
