Alexey,

These are some really cool images. Did you do any post processing reflection distortions?

They make me wonder what I am really seeing. I am sure people from that area can recognize some of the reflections and what they are in reality. But being from Texas I can only recognize a few things. Do you think people from Qatar would recognize things in reflections from our buildings? Hmmm.

But these images have given me an idea: Take reflections in any buildings and warp them in PS. I would be easy to do pane by pane. I am going to give it a try and see what I can come up with. I am pretty sure they won't be as nice as these.

Michael,

Pictures were edited by adjusting Levels, to remove uniform haze. The reflections show mostly concrete fencing around construction sites.
The reflecting building is called "Aamal Tower".
Not sure that it is worth to try warping each reflection because it may take too long time.
