The Dubai Fountain
If you are ever in Dubai, one unmissable attraction is the Dubai Fountain at the base of the Burj Jhalifa (Tallest building in the world). You’ve probably heard of the fountains outside the Bellagio in Vegas – yes they are great, but really nothing compared to this. They don’t call Dubai “The land of Superlatives” for nothing!
This is it to the tune of Andrea Botchelli’s ‘Time to say Goodbye’ but you might also want to check out Michael Jacksons’s Thiller.
It’s that time again!

The Worlds Most Expensive Photograph
No this is not a joke, you did not read the title incorrectly and I have not accidentally uploaded the wrong picture. The image you see above is the worlds most expensive photograph. It just sold for $4.3 Million by Christies in New York.
Christie’s described it as “a dramatic and profound reflection on human existence and our relationship to nature on the cusp of the 21st century”. The artist Andreas Gursky describes it saying “It says a lot using the most minimal means … for me it is an allegorical picture about the meaning of life and how things are.”
