Cold February Morning Sunrise

It is a shivery 5°C/45° F in Kuwait this morning, made more shivery by a brisk wind that blows and makes all the flags along the roads, hanging from apartments, decorating villas, etc. flap dramatically in the wind. I am hoping that National Day and Liberation Day holidays will make the roads less travelled as I zoom around, but I have been warned to steer clear of the Gulf Road, where youngsters are spraying cars with colored spaghetti and foam.

No more sandstorm, thank God, although there still seems to be grit in the air; your face feels dry and covered with an invisible coating when you come inside.

The sunrise this morning was beautiful – sharp, clear and, when I ran to get the camera, it was pink, but by the time I got back 15 seconds later, it had gone more orange:

  4. LOL that’s odd. Today the weather was fantastic and warm in Colorado. Oh well, Kuwait’s weather is always unpredictable.

  6. Hmm…I think the reason it’s not going to spam is because I’m using a different computer. That means whenever I use the other computer there’s a chance it might go to spam 😦
