Gigantic Sunrise
It must be an accident of atmospheric refraction or some other optical illusion – I did not photoshop this photo, the sun just turned out huge. I took others where the sun is smaller, but this one made me laugh out loud, and I hope it will brighten your day, too.
Good Morning, Kuwait!
For my non-Kuwait, non-Gulf readers, today is like Thank-God-it’s-Thursday. Tomorrow is the holy day (even many Christians go to church here on Friday) and some people also have off Saturday, some don’t.
At 0800 in Kuwait, it is 82Β°F / 28Β°C – my favorite temperature conversion, because it is easy to remember, same backwards and forewards. Yesterday, I even saw my first laborer wearing a neckscarf because of the cooler temperatures, LLLLOOOLLLLLLLLLL!
Blogger Mathai, at Just Blog It posted four sunsets, which are lovely, but scroll down his page to the October 6th entry for one of the most beautiful photos of downtown Kuwait I have ever seen. Taken during the Eid, the skys are SO blue!

What a wonderful view to wake up to.
That IS huge! I was trying to figure out where the sun was because its reflection on the water seemed small… when I realize it was almost all of the top part of the pic LOL
Oh Cindi, it makes waking up everyday such a joy! π
LOLLLL for sure, Ansam! I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it.

You are too kind with your comments, the shot of downtown Kuwait was from my camera phone (SE w810i) and I was surprised too when it came out so nice !
Skunk! Apocalyptic thinking! Do you also believe that the Israelis were behind the bombing of the American Embassy in Yemen??
Yousef – Me too!
No kidding! From your camera phone?? Mathai, that photo was fabulous.
