TPF Noob!
I know that many many photos have been taken of the Burj Al Arab. But I seldom see photos from the ocean side indicating the size and magnitude of the controversial "World's Largest Cross".
There was a considerable controversy regarding the claim that the structure looks like a huge Christian cross when viewed by anyone sailing into city. Some locals claim that this was an intentional move on the part of the British architects. This issue is more ironic when one considers that the Burj Al Arab (Tower of the Arabs) is widely considered to be Dubais most important landmark.
I took this photo on a recent boat trip. I used a Canon 350D and a 28-200mm Canon lens. I love the postcard look to the photo with the clouds almost beaming past the massive structure into the air.
your comments would be appreciated.
many thanks
Adriaan
