Umum mengetahui bandaraya Dubai di UAE adalah bandaraya paling pesat membangun di dunia ketika ini. Berdasarkan fakta, satu pertiga daripada jumlah kren-kren pembinaan di dunia berada di Dubai. Namun disebalik 'kepesatan' ini, sebenarnya kebanyakan daripada bangunan-bangunan ini masih kosong dan tidak berpenghuni, disebabkan pembinaan melebihi permintaan.
Mengaplikasikan fakta ini, seorang fotografer, Richard Allenby-Pratt telah menghasilkan imej-imej menakjubkan di bawah ini. Mungkin inilah gambaran bandaraya Dubai pada masa hadapan, menjadi 'bandaraya berhantu' yang dihuni oleh binatang-binatang liar.
Deserted Dubai: A zebra wanders along an empty motorway in the image created by Richard Allenby-Pratt in a bid to highlight the plight of such creatures whose own habitats have been plundered
Lion king of the urban jungle: A lion surveys the abandoned city from high-up platform on the empty shell of a derelict tower
Sands of time: Giraffe in the desert with Dubai’s skyline visible in the background
What are you doing here? A kangaroo hops along a canalside. But – as strange as it may seem – such exotic animals are kept by many wealthy residents are pets
Puma by the pool: Another exotic animal makes itself at home a vacant former holiday resort
Strange visitor: A rhino walks in the sand at an abandoned building site
Peacock in the plaza: A bird shows off its plumage beside the beach – but there are no visitors to see it
Roaming free: An ibex stares down through the shell of a building after the construction has long since ground to a halt
Taking a sip: A dorcas gazelle drinks from water below a motorway bridge
Hyena at a housing development: Look closely and you can see the animal laughing at the fate of the previous human occupants
Grazing: Gemsbok, native to southern Africa, roam among the scrub near an extravagant building project abandoned midway
A nice snap: A crocodile swims in a harbour long since evacuated by human life
Flocks: Aoudad, or Barbary sheep, graze near a former luxury hotel
Hidden: Look closely and you can see a dama gazelle near the shore of the Gulf
Empty: A African wild dog stares out over the desert as it envelops the city
