It was one of December's late night hours when I was expecting dense fog. Before this, I never got a chance to shoot something like this from a rooftop. I had to try my luck so as soon I saw the fog rolling into the city, I went straight to one of the tallest buildings in Dubai. I knew I won't get access but still went to the security guy and requested if I can get access to the rooftop to take some photos. After some discussion & negotiation, he agreed and I got access to the top but for a very limited time.
After reaching the rooftop, I took some time to grasp the view I was looking at. The Dubai skyscrapers were looking like floating above the sea of clouds & Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world) was standing out from all the buildings around.
So, here goes the photo I captured that night (a panorama shot). I decided to mint this piece on my 43rd Birthday. I wanted to make this piece accessible to everyone, especially who provided me with so much support in the last few months on this wonderful space.
