Here There and Everywhere

Filtered Dawn

It’s not that haze we have been having that magnifies the radiance of the sun into a huge, pulsating ball hanging over the Gulf; today is a much more muted dawn, filtering through the grey layer of haze lying far out on the horizon. There is no surf, but minute wave action, visible but not elevated . . . it is a Saturday morning sunrise, no drama, respecting those who get to sleep in . . .

For those Kuwait students who check in, missing Kuwait, it is the time of year when people are picnicking in the local parks, dining outside at the Marina and Kout malls, and enjoying the pleasant warm nights while they can, before all is breathlessly hot.

At six o’clock this morning, it is lovely:

And this is what the week is going to look like:

Have a great day, Kuwait.

  2. The picture gives me the feeling of Northern sunset, just before the Aurora strikes.

    Beautiful picture.

    You have a great day too.

  3. Hope you are having a great day, Ansam!

    LOL, the Aurora! You must have been way far north, Soul! I remember seeing the Aurora borealis once, which I was a child.
