    Sadly, I know a person who stays there and we often visit them,

    Holbeche House Care Centre, Wolverhampton Road, Wall Heath, Kingswinford

    or it looks pretty similar...

    That's is what I would have guessed too, Burj Khalifa or Burj Dubai depending on who is talking about it.

    But check out the guys working on the lateral beam at the back. I've jumped out of an airplane before - not something I really enjoy doing, truth to tell - but the thought of walking around on that I-beam is just plain spooky!!

    The Norsemen, it is in Dubai...

    and Robinzx, yes it's Burj Khalifa! Well done

    For those interested here's the full story
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Look at the edge (uppermost right corner) of the picture,
    You can almost see the turn of the earth


    The persons who are working on
    The upper most Girders can see the
    "ROTATION OF THE EARTH"

    The Highest Human Position In The World

    Do you know who holds the highest position in the world?

    President Barack Obama? Nope.

    Pope Benedict? Nope.

    The Dalai Lama? Nope.

    Do you want to see WHO that person is ?

    Until Now....


    Babu Sassi, a fearless young man from southern India ,

    Is the cult hero of Dubai 's army of construction workers.

    Known as the "Indian on top of the world",

    Babu is the crane operator at the world's tallest building, the 819-meter Burj Dubai.

    His office, the cramped crane cab perched on top of the Burj, is also his home.

    It takes too long to come down to the ground each day to make it worthwhile -

    Although, when the building is completed, its elevators will be the world's fastest.

    Stories about his daily brush with death are discussed in revered terms by Dubai 's workers.

    Some say he has been up there for more than a year,

    Others whisper that he's paid 30,000 dirhams ($8,168) a month

    Compared with the average wage of 800 dirhams a month.

    But everyone agrees, he's worth it -

    Because nobody else would have the courage to do the job!

    I would hate to be him...

    Oh and rep+

    EDIT:
    That's is what I would have guessed too, Burj Khalifa or Burj Dubai depending on who is talking about it.

    I knew it as the Burj Dubai, but then realised they were the same thing

    Awesome - I figured there can't be that many places that high off the ground

    Btw, for the curvature, that isn't because they used a fisheye lens on the camera??
