The Incredible Dubai Fountain

OT but worth watching.

 

Make sure you click the button , bottom right,  to the left of the sound button.....to get "full" screen. The Dubai Fountain is a record-setting choreographed fountain system set on the 30- acre man-made Burj Khalifa Lake, at the center of the Downtown Dubai development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was designed by WET Design, the California-based company responsible for the fountains at the Bellagio Hotel Lake in Las Vegas. Illuminated by 6,600 lights and 25 colored projectors, it is 275 m (902 ft, 3 football fields) long and shoots water 150 m (490 ft) into the air, accompanied by a range of classical to contemporary Arabic and world music. It was built at a cost of AED 800 million (USD 218 million). The name of the fountain was chosen after a contest organized by the developer Emaar Properties. The result of which was announced on 26 October 2008. Testing of the fountain began in February 2009, and the fountain was officially inaugurated on 8 May 2009 along with the official opening ceremony of the Dubai Mall. To watch the fountain, click on the link below, but When it starts, click the "full screen button" at the bottom right of the "small screen"  to the left of the  "speaker/sound button". Then, just let it run.  Do NOT click on the word NEXT in the upper right of the picture square. Be patient and wait for the fountain to do its thing, and listen to the gorgeous duet performed by Andre Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. [Truly a great copy of what was done in Vegas.  Interesting to me, ESPECIALLY because islam REJECTS music [have you ever heard good islamic music?] mohammed. piss be upon him, even said that on judgement day, musicians will be punished, and those who listened to music will have hot lead poured in their ears!] Steve  http://www.wimp.com/dubaifountain/
