I'm a fan of tall buildings too. Just the sheer spectacle of the undertaking is enough to captivate me. I like your photos because they give an idea of what it's like to stand underneath these giants. I've been fortunate enough to visit the first 4! By the way, it looks like they're renaming the Burj Dubai, the Burj Khalifa as an homage to the president of the UAE for his role in rescuing Dubai from its financial meltdown. Nice one! Very cool!

Wow, that must've been something, seeing the Shanghai World Financial Center from the Jin Mao tower. Awesome! The Petronas towers may no longer be the world's tallest but they're still absolutely breathtaking. Cheers, Keith Thanks Megan!

I agree with you about the Petronas Towers - two of the most stunning buildings I've ever seen. Also, the Shanghai World Financial Center (known locally as the "Bottlecap Opener") is quite something. It towered above us as we surveyed the city from the 88th floor of the Jinmao Tower, which was previously Shanghai's highest building. Crazy! Fun idea for a post!
