A co-worker showed me pictures of some of the development in Dubai. They are undertaking massive building projects, which include several hundred man-made islands laid in the ocean in shapes which will be habitable. They are being sold for 7 to 35 million dollars a piece. Where did I leave my piggy bank?...
The first two massive projects undertaken were two palm trees.
This is a link to a progressive slide show of 2001 to 2006 when one of the Palms was nearly finished.
Here's are pictures of the completed products.
