Petrodollars At Work

AN ENGINEERING MASTERPIECE


It was not readily apparent just what kind of building
was going up in the Kingdom of Dubai (United Arab Emirates)

Here's the project during the construction phase..... 



 
 
And here we see the finished building.  To get an idea of the scale of this thing, notice the 40 ft high palm trees being planted along the outside.

 
Now, as you study this monumental building, try to 
remember that this is sitting in the middle of the desert....
 The very HOT desert where temperatures can get up as high as 120 degrees
  
So exactly what is INSIDE this place?

  Well....    it's a ski run.

  Yep!
 It even has a chair lift!

  




It's so nice to know our petrodollars are going to a good cause
