CoeurCountry Sunsets

Everybody needs a friend like CoeurCountry. You think you have your day all figured out and she calls and has an idea, and all of a sudden, everything changes. Isn’t it fun when life is less predictable?

After a long day, she called just as I was stretching out to read the paper and maybe catch a little nap before AdventureMan comes home – not a big nap, just a tiny little one!

“Don’t you need to go shopping?” she asked, with a laugh in her voice. “Can I tempt you with a coffee?”

No, I didn’t need the temptation of a coffee, just jumping in the car and driving off with her is enough – we always have so much to talk about and never run out of topics.

And we did have coffee. 🙂

As we were finishing up our errands, she stopped and said “Look! There’s your sunset!”

And there it was. Too late for the contest, but definitely a Kuwait sunset worth shooting:

Al Kout Mall Sunset

And, as usual, we had “just one more thing” to do, and as she completed her errands, I shot one more sunset – no sun, but it is a sunset photo because I was there and I say so!

Mosque Sunset

So now you know something else about me. I may not always be able to make a deadline, but it is really, really hard for me to pass up a challenge. 🙂

Speaking of deadlines – have you voted in The Great Kuwait Sunset Challenge Poll? The deadline – Saturday – is fast approaching. I haven’t peeked at the results, which I will share with you on Sunday.

  2. LOL, Mac. The first one . . . did you notice? I love the palms and the water play, but . . . the dreaded streetlights . . . ?

  5. Oh yeh. I’ve worked with erasing a little, but it gives a watery quality to the spaces I erase. I wonder, maybe I need to work on my technique a little, you think? 🙂

    Oh Ansam! One day you will take that sunset shot, and when you do, post it and link to me!
