[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is one of the finest hotels in the world, if not the most spectacular building for a hotel.

A few hours before I took this shot, Tiger Woods (who was in town to play in the Dessert Classic golf tournament) was hitting golf balls from the heli-pad out to sea! I saw the photo's afterwards and they look impressive.

I like the pure blue sky of this shot against the buildings shape and colour.

This is a very nice partial impression of that 7-star hotel. We tried to get in to see it (a family of four in a rented car), but the guards at the gate wanted fifty dollars from each of us, which they said we could then spend on a cup of coffee (or maybe two) in the lobby. So we decided to spend the afternoon on the beach next to it instead taking the same kind of photographs as this. It brings back memories.
And the sky is that blue.

Nice picture of this amazing hotel. My wife and I took a tour in the hotel and it was a great experience.
