Hit the Road Running

Both AdventureMan and I have a lot on our plates today, so we hit the road running a little early. I was actually up when the sun rose – 5:25 a.m. and bring you this morning’s sunrise:

I am afraid to say ‘it looks like a glorious day.’ Friday also dawned a glorious day, and ended in wreckage, lives lost and enormous property damage as a fifteen minute wind, sand, hail, thunder and lightning storm struck Kuwait. One forecaster said more is on the way – and I wonder, still? Can we still expect the possibility of another freak storm?

It’s 64°F / 18°C at 0600 with a forecast of 100°F / 38°C forecast for today.

  1. I was at the beach, shooting the same scene 😀

    And I’m afraid, we can expect anything here.
    Did you see the yellow clouds around the horizon?

    I wake up at 5.25am or so… but the big houses in our area block every beautiful sky scene… nasty people… 😉

  3. I say enjoy the moment and those moments were beautiful – I can just feel the ripples on the surface of the water

  4. Nicole, did you have your sweet doggies with you? It was a GREAT morning to be out on the beach, if you have doggie protection 🙂

    I watched the yellow clouds on the horizon, they rolled into Kuwait around mid-day – I think it was a mild sand storm – but it looks like it is clearing now, mid-afternoon.

    Hamitaf (I totally get the name! 😉 )You get the BEST part of the day, up at 5:25 when the air is about as fresh as it is going to be for the next few months. Do you see anything lovely on your way to work?

    Jewaira, an hour later the sea was totally flat and glassy, and there was no horizon. It’s hard to photograph that boundary-less-ness where sky and sea and boat all float with no divisions . . it is beautiful. Every minute things change. . . you can lose an hour of your time and never realize it.

  6. We got notice today that it may hit – only God knows where – late today or tomorrow. The office sent out notification.
