360-degree panorama atop world's tallest building shows off Dubai

As far as being on top of the world, it isn’t quite Felix Baumgartner, but it’s an impressive sight all the same.

The following is a still from Dubai-based photographer Gerald Donovan’s masterful 360-degree panoramic taken atop Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. The images were taken 828 meters above sea level, and the ending result includes 70 individual photos, each at 80 megapixels.

The panorama has been released to celebrate the second “Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Photography Award,” which will take place in Dubai in March. The grand prize is $120,000.

Check it out. Zoom in and out, and explore the city of Dubai.
