This photo was taken on a drive through the desert between Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It was taken a few years ago when a lot of the city was under construction. This collection of buildings was striking because they seemed to be completely alone and quite far away from any other civilization. This stark contrast between desolate desert landscapes and manmade structures is all too common in the UAE.
