The city in the clouds - Dubai


Dubai's skyscrapers poke through a carpet of fog at night in dramatic images taken from 800ft up in the air. The world's tallest building - the 2,700ft-high Burj Khalifa - can be seen bursting through the dense fog banks which descend on the city in March year year. In other pictures, the lights from Dubai's shops and apartments illuminate the fog from below at sunset.
Admiring Africa !!
Africa boasts perhaps the world's largest combination of density and range of freedom of wild animal populations and diversity, with wild populations of large carnivores (such as lions, hyenas, and cheetahs) and herbivores (such as buffalo, elephants, camels, and giraffes) ranging freely on primarily open non-private plains. It is also home to a variety of jungle animals including snakes and primates and aquatic life such as crocodiles and amphibians.
