Seeing The 30 Tallest Buildings In The World In Size Order Is Enormously Impressive

1. Burj Khalifa

 

From Burj Khalifa to One World Trade Center, we’ve rounded up some well-known architectural giants for you. I was certain that One World Trade Center ranked higher, but I wasn’t even aware of the massive building that tops this list. The photos of the peak of the building peeking out over the clouds looks almost like a Sci-Fi movie. It’s hard to believe some of these are real!
Located in Dubai, UAE Height: 828 m; 2,717 ft

These pictures were taken by German snapper Bjoern Lauen, who went up a tall building in the central business district at sunrise to capture the amazing sight of the tallest building in the world rising above the early morning fog. Wonderous!

Mr. Lauen, 32, says, “It is a natural spectacle that only presents itself to the very early riser able to admire the scenery from a high enough location, above the clouds.
