Darpan News Desk IANS, 22 Nov, 2014 11:00 AM

Taking the selfie phenomenon to a new level, a 47-year-old British photographer captured an image of himself on top of Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the tallest man-made structure in the world.

Taking the selfie atop the 2,723 ft skyscraper, Gerald Donovan could well have taken the world's highest selfie, The Telegraph reported.

A UAE-based photographer, Donovan used a special panoramic camera controlled by an iPhone app to capture the image.

Aimed at offering a virtual tour of Dubai and a 360 degree panoramic time lapse, Donovan's photographs are part of the Dubai 360 project.
