The popular image of Abu Dhabi focuses on the prosperity, and even luxury, of its built environment (as I suppose the architects would describe it). Beneath that marbled surface sheen, however, are the far less salubrious spaces occupied by largely unskilled immigrant workers, many of whom have to live packed in to tiny apartments in crumbling concrete blocks. Here, balconies are not for enjoying the sunshine but making the most of the available space.

Lens-Artists Challenge: Balconies
Your pictures show the underside of luxury. It is just like behind the glamorous world of luxury bags, clothing, phones and even makeup products, where we have millions of underpaid workers (sometimes even in unsafe environment). Thanks for sharing this with the Lens-Artists challenge.
Excellent. π
