View Abu Dhabi, U.A.E - Places of Interest in a larger map

Vision Hotel & Apartments
I have pointed out the location of my hotel for the benefit of the reader. Note that all of my recorded sites within an approximate two mile radius were visited on foot from Vision. I had great difficulty in finding these sites because from ground level the arrangement and patterns of building blocks and streetspace seemed considerably intense, yet consistent. The majority of such sites were accidently found by myself. When I now look at the distribution of all of my places of interest from plan, I gain a much better understanding of scale and their relationship in context because urban grain is far more apparent this way. When I venture out to revisit these sites I sometimes check my google map to make sure I go in the right direction. Very useful.
