This black-and-white image captures a striking view of the Burj Khalifa—Dubai’s iconic skyscraper—framed by a glass window with a heavily textured, rippled surface. The window’s left section distorts the background cityscape into overlapping, wave-like patterns, contrasting sharply with the clear view of the Burj Khalifa in the centre-right, where its slender, tapering spire pierces the pale, overcast sky.

In the foreground, dark vertical window frames divide the scene, while the right edge shows a portion of a modern, multi-tiered building with clean, angular lines. Below the skyline, hints of Dubai’s urban landscape emerge: a partially constructed tower with cranes, other mid-rise buildings, and a single palm tree, adding subtle depth to the composition.

The monochrome palette enhances the contrast between the soft, distorted textures of the glass and the sharp, geometric form of the Burj Khalifa, lending the image a sleek, contemporary feel. A faint photographer’s watermark appears in the bottom-right corner, but it does not distract from the scene’s focus: the interplay between man-made architecture, reflective glass, and the iconic skyline. The overall mood is calm and modern, capturing a quiet moment of urban perspective.
