My immediate reaction was, why the palm trees!

Interesting urban capture, a real shame with the debris here. The background cityscape appears to be a beautiful place. Fascinating composition.

This image shows the deep contrast of the two sides of the town put face to face with only the river in between.

It's interesting how different the both sides of the river appear. And I like the bland character too in contrast to that evocative sky. It's a picture to look at many times & we will find always new things & meanings. You're right: It's full of something. Thanks for this beauty. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
