 This is Jazirat Al Hamra, a small abandoned village in the UAE. I've never seen anything like it. The entire town was deserted in the 1960's and has been crumbling ever since. I would have loved to stay longer on this day, but I'll definitely be back.

Evokes something tragic. Is this in a war zone? One of my ribbon choices.
