Kuwait Blue Sky

On our way downtown the other day, I glumly told my friends I miss the true-blue skies we see in Kuwait in the winter time. All we get these days is this white haze, or at best, a light blue haze. I shot a few photos – and to my surprise, when I uploaded them, we had a genuine blue sky in the background!

Here is one of the renovated minarets – have you noticed a lot of the historical locations are getting a facelift?

For my friends who think we live in tents and drive our camels to work, a nice shot of downtown Kuwait:

Graceful shoppers exiting the Manshar Mall in Fehaheel:

The Grand Mosque in downtown Kuwait:

A saucer-topped building (and the sky is indeed blue):

Last, but not least, a boat on the gulf – and no horizon, no delineation between sea and sky:

  4. Hmmmm, Ansam . . . .clear? I know clear. Clear is a very BLUE blue. Today is a very white blue, but, thanks be to God, no dust, no sand. Thanks be to God!

    Thanks, Hamitaf. 🙂

    I am surprised, too, Kinan. some of the new buildings going up downtown, all twisted glass and concrete, take my breath away. I am mildly afraid of heights, and the idea of working in one of those buildings, all glass and questionable building code enforcement scares the stuffing out of me.
