There are cranes perched on some of the building and the sheer height of the others. 2. The angle of the photograph suggest that there is viewpoint at ground level where this entire skyline can be captured. Hence a dense inner core with a ring road around the city. 3. The murkiness of the photograph suggest either haze, fog, dust etc. 4. Also seen from the photograph is no trees, bushes etc This photograph is taken on a hot sunny day in Dubai,United Arab Emirates. Dubai is geographically a desert which is converted into a lively city and continuous to be developed. Invisible information that can be interpreted from this photograph are: 1. The construction activity and the height of these buildings indicates a city that is in its race to development as well as the wealth of the city. Petroleum resources is one of Dubai's biggest income which is now being converted to tourism and luxury living. 2. The buildings suggest a high density city but Dubai is not as dense as Singapore or Tokyo. Dubai has no scarcity of land like the former two examples. But being a desert with no water resource, the development spreads from the sea towards the interior. 3. The murkiness of the photograph is due to the dust/ desert sand. The outer areas of Dubai are nothing but desert, hence when cars zoom past on the road, this loose desert sand keeps shifting. 4. The absence of trees do not indicate the kind of climate here. Big cities usually have very little tree. In this case, Dubai being a desert there is no fertile soil for trees to grow except those that can grow in the desert. The inside of the city do have roads lined with palm trees and grass mounds, maintained using recycled water.
