Instagram is the place of photo trends: the “I’m going to eat this” photo, the “Selfie” shot, the “I’m so arty, look at this fence” snap…
Have you heard of the “feet” photo? The one where people will take a snapshot of their feet as soft waves in some tropical destination lap against their feet or in inch-deep snow because that’s a big thing in Ireland?
Well, forget all those… this is the most exciting feet photo to ever hit photo-sharing site Instagram,.
It was taken by National Geographic photographer Joe McNally from the top of the world’s tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai. The photo features on the Huffington Post today.
McNally uploaded the shot to his Instagram account on Monday. He told the HuffPost that he was standing on the railing of a support structure for the building’s airplane warning lights and said the photo was nothing to do with work, it just “seemed like fun”.
“My old battered shoes climbed the world’s tallest building today,” he wrote as a caption, “What an amazing structure! Tweeting from 820 meters straight up![sic]”
At 828 metres tall, the Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest man-made structure.
Here is the Burj Khalifa from how everybody else sees it:
It’s the biggish building there in the middle.
