For her birthday, Jahangir visited Dubai, the United

Arab Emirates city famous for its large buildings and

bold ambitions. Late one afternoon, tourists filled

the observation decks to view the sunset from the

124th and 125th floors of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s

tallest structure. A young man and woman stood in

front of the glass, overtaken by golden light. Jahangir

took two shots of them in perfect silhouette. A few

seconds later, the young couple broke their position

and walked away.
