Sunrise 6 February 2008
It is 36°F/2° C at 7 in the morning in Kuwait. It is warmer in Seattle, it is warmer in Germany than in Kuwait. Because most of the heat here only blows sand and allergens through the house, most of us don’t even bother turning it on anymore – Kuwait just isn’t very good at heating, but they are very good at air conditioning.
It reminds me of the wonderful Volvo I had for 13 years – it had wonderful seat warmers, and a great heater, but in Florida, it couldn’t air condition worth a hoot. It was built for cold countries, and was great in the winter. I haven’t had a Volvo for a while now, and I understand they have gotten a lot better.
If Kuwait continues to have weather this cold, I bet they get better at heating, too. Meanwhile, we all bundle up in sweaters and shawls for the early mornings and after sundowns. The middle of the day, by the way, is absolutely perfect. 🙂
Particularly beautiful sunrise this morning:
Struggling through the pollution layer:
Kinda scary when the sun is half blood-red:
Love the serendipity of a little boat coming along just when I needed it 🙂
A new day is dawning!

Beautiful! Good Morning! 🙂 Yes I do hope Kuwait picks up on its heating skills, it is much needed, as time passes it will only get colder.
Gooooodd Mooorrrrnnniiinnng, N! Nice to see you so early!
You are right, and also because all the space heaters are causing the most horrifying fires, and the charcoal fires are killing people!

Yeh – I guess I do. I am so thankful to have this beautiful view ever morning, Fonz.

Lovely pics as always…
Beautiful!
Girl a friend of mine started a group on facebook which will help the promotion of knowledge and entertainment in Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space and more generally any Scientific Research and News. Strangely every time I check it I remember you! 😀 And your love to the sky and what comes beyond!! 🙂
amazing. you’re truly blessed to be able to witness that every morning.
**Breathtaking** photos! (but warmer in Seattle? until today, not so much – darn chilly)
Thank you, Kinan. I think of you and your love on sunrise every morning.
Thank you, bbq8!
Noracassandra! Are you feeling better? I am glad you think of me when you think of astronomical things . . . 🙂 Oh, if I could only shoot stars (other than our own sun!)
GE&B – I feel so blessed. It helps me LOVE being in Kuwait.
Good Morning, Sparkle! Yep! I check Weather Underground – I have several “favorites” and Kuwait in winter is often colder than Seattle. Like yesterday, it was 37° here at 7 am and in Seattle it was like 44° at 8 pm. Whoda thunk?
