From: the ridge where the west commences
There was some amusement to be had in the Gulf News Property section yesterday.

After several pages of "For Sale" ads illustrated with artist's renderings of what-your-place-might-look-like-when-it's-finished-two-years-from-now-and-it's-location-is-shifted-to-some-other-planet-where-everyone-has-two-Bentleys-and-a-polo-pony-in-the-front-yard there is a tiny ad for a Meadows villa proudly trumpeting "actual photo!".

What is depicted is something that looks like Abu Ghraib prison on a bad day with a fly-blown dust bowl for a "garden" and a pile of broken bricks and re-inforcing iron where the Bentley was supposed to be. Maybe the labourers ate the polo pony in lieu of wages but in any case, not a superb confidence builder (pun intended).
