A place to share pictures taken from above, that reveal interesting views, fascinating places or different angles to places.

I have made a short video describing how I take the pictures that I share, here

This is not a rule! You are welcome to share any aerial picture you feel is worth sharing. I just thought that maybe some of you may need a little help. It's really addictive once you get started!

I have spent the most of this day trying to figure out what these elongated shapes are. The location is close to Al Khidayrah and Al Jirab

In my search, I have mostly found other posts asking the same question, but no conclusive answer.

The best explanations until now are:

Mangrove nursery, coral plantations, salt harvesting or algae farms

Hey i foud this link

It mentions and shows an oil slick in the areas which are now dredged in a grid. Maybe it was part of an oil spill clean up.
