UAE Views

Fourteen frames from around the Emirates — canal boardwalks at midday, arcaded pavilions on cut grass, dining rooms laid and still empty. Places only. Nobody in the frame.

These came off a phone, not a tripod. What holds them together is the hour they were taken in — the gap after the tables are set and before anyone sits down, when a room is just its own architecture. Thumbnails below; tap any one to open it.
