These were taken at dusk, so they are a bit hazy, but thought they might be fun to see nonetheless.
I’ve mentioned the mangroves, and how they grow up from the
water. This is looking pretty much
north, at the Abu Dhabi area called Eastern Mangroves. The green area just past the houses is a preserve for mangroves, and you can
kayak through there. On my list for one of these days … want to get a long
sleeved uv-resistant shirt first! The tall buildings are part of Abu Dhabi's city centre, near the Corniche.
This shot will show you that the city does have a grid
system to streets … just doesn’t feel like it when you are driving around by
car. It also shows the mangroves preserve from another angle. The majority of buildings in this
shot are apartment buildings and houses.
In the evening, the mosques have some uplighting on the towers, and
green lights on the towers. There are
many many mosques. Most are small, at least in neighborhoods like these.
This photo shows a typical storefront, found all over the
place. Small stores, businesses, and restaurants, with apartments above. Such a
common site, throughout the UAE.
