Ah yes the wonderful constant smell of industrial emissions that are the daily life of Jubail Industrial; the far reaching plumes of smoke from the spires of burning gas; and the sea, yes the sea, usurped by the poison that drifts as a slight glint from within..
Such a wonderful little spot. Reminds me of..
a maggot-eaten rat carcass strewn across a desolate road

Who's familiar with Hieronymous Bosch? Flemish painter of - I think - the early 15th century, who had these terrifying, grotesque visions of the equivalent of a modern industrial landscape
Well, Jubail is pretty much out of a Bosch painting, except that with poor ol' Hieronymous, you got spared the industrial stench! |

Yes!
How about, Bosch with Bacon to reflect the inner reaction to the externally represented ? |
