Looking down from my apartment in Abu Dhabi, UAE

Parking in downtown Abu Dhabi is at a premium and vehicles routinely double park or create their own parking spaces, as seen in the line of vehicles between the two marked areas. This leaves no room for legitimate users to maneuver into the marked spaces, and so parking becomes a completely random exercise.

A few comments have said it's too orderly, which is something I never thought of when I took the shot. All I could imagine was trying to find a parking space in that mess which is, indeed, chaos! I guess you had to be there!

Looks like drivers are just the same no matter where you are from! Nice capture.

Oh, very clever. Just seeing that is making me grit my teeth! A higher angle, looking straight down, would be even better, but I know that would be difficult. Other nitpicks: I could do without the tree/bush in the bottom left, the square cover at the top left, and the car at center left is cut off a little too short for me. But, man, I love the concept.

I see what you're going for but it seems orderly to me. Like the touch of red in the shot.
