Beautiful, surprisingly few people in the shot. Since I only found 3-4 in a few minutes, I guess it's hot outside :)

Is it afternoon prayer time on a WE with 50C or something like that? As I can see the entire city has:

- nobody walking in the streets (I failed to find a single one…)

- no cars beyond the handful in far away parking lots

- nobody working on construction sites

I did see some people working on construction sites. However, I have been to Dubai and it is perfectly normal that nobody is walking down the streets - it's way too hot.

This one time I stepped of a cab to take a picture and it was excruciating, we could only stay outside for about 2 minutes before giving up.

There's some pretty crazy heat artifacts, too, if you rotate toward the left of the original position.

What are these towers mainly used for? Housing? Businesses? Tourism?

Also that mall is HUGE.

I found giant road cones the size of people!

Surreal. Looks like video game art of depiction of a future city.

Here's a 50 gigapixel image of Vienna:

I am thinking of the ocean in Lems Solaris, who might have built something similar.
