And see if this (the first two photos) is the world's tallest building. The photos were apparently taken 2 days ago in Pyong Yang, North Korea.

Thanks.

Wow!!! Look at all of those windows in that building. I don't know whether that's the tallest building in the world. From the pictures,the building is surrounded by fog or smog or something. Are there any clearer pictures of it???

Unfortunately there isn't. There is a rumor at another Russian messageboard (where I got these photos from) that this building is close to 1000 feet high, though.
