Desolation Around Abu Dhabi

Maybe it's the desert environment. Maybe new development. A feeling of empty space, desolation can be found everywhere in and around the UAE capital.

Downtown Abu Dhabi, open space.

Out in the residential neighborhoods and new commercial developments, big, empty expanses.

At the Sheikh Zayed museum, rows of seating, no sitters.

Highway truck parking, quiet. A camel racecourse, silent.

A street has been completed. Going someplace? Not sure.
