Enigmatic Sunset
Wooooo HOOOOOO! Enigma! She sends in a dramatic sunset! What do you think?
I am having so much fun with this Challenge! You guys have made my week. 🙂 It’s your last chance. Tomorrow is the end of the challenge – hit the sunset tonight!
BTW, have you seen the big huge full moon rising over the Gulf the last two nights? Grab your cameras! Run!
Q8 Geek Updates Submissions
Here’s the spirit! Q8Geek submitted some brand new photos trying to capture the Great Kuwait Sunset Challenge bragging rights:
I really love the way he has the Kuwait skyline in the background, and the way the foreground swoops! One tiny little flaw, and it’s just a personal thing . . . streetlights. AAARRGH!
You Be the Judge – Hilaliya
My good friend Amer bashfully submitted some sunset shots, saying that they aren’t as good as some he had already seen posted. I wasn’t expecting much. When I opened them, I gasped!
Look at those clouds! How often do you see cloud action like that at sunset in Kuwait? Most of the sunset photos I see are the sun going down in a thick haze – sometimes a yellow haze, sometimes a ferocious red haze – but these! Well, you be the judge:
Aren’t they fabulous? Wooo Hoooo, Hilaliya!
Q8Geek’s Sunset Panorama
Whoda thunk there were so many fabulous sunsets in Kuwait? These guys have found them! Here is q8Geek’s Panoramic entry:
Is that breathtaking or what?
Bu Yousef’s Awesome Q8 Sunsets
WOW. All I can say is WOW. I had no idea there were such gorgeous sunsets out there, and I love love love the photos you are posting and sending.
Bu Yousef linked several more sunset photos. I am betting few of you will be going back that far, and checking out the additions, so I grabbed them off his page and and posting them here, hoping you will go to Bu Yousef’s blog and here, too and see all the amazing photos he takes.
Meanwhile, The Great Kuwait Sunset Challenge goes on! Here are BuYousef’s further entries:
BuYousef's Mosque Sunset
BuYousef Sailing Sunset
BuYousef's Kuwait Skyline Sunset
Are they gorgeous or are they gorgeous? 🙂
Northpole Goodies
In an e-mail I received this week, a friend had a loooonnnnggggg list of Candy and Cookie recipes for the upcoming Christmas season. Purely out of curiousity, I clicked a few – and wow. These recipes are quick, delicious, and easy.
I don’t think there is a nutritious recipe in the whole website! All the recipes are for sweets! Here is just a partial selection from the Pies department:
I admit it, I am not that vulnerable to candy, but chocolate truffles are my downfall – and I am going to have to try their chocolate truffle recipe!
Here is the website: North Pole Kitchen Cookbook.
Have fun!
Wooo HOOOO MacaholiQ8 Sunsets
Just when I had given up hope of any more entries (you have until next Saturday) I got a set from Macaholiq8 that totally took my breath away. Wait ’till you see these!
He says the first is taken at a farm in Wafra, and the next three are taken at Marina Mall. GOOD eye, Mac!

How about those sunsets, Great Q8 Sunset Fans? 🙂 (Thank you, Mac, for participating. And WOW.)
Great Kuwait Sunset Challenge Deadline
So here is how it is going to work. I am going to give you this one last weekend and one last week to come up with your sunset photo. Bu Yousef, AbdulAziz and Someday have shown us that yes, it is possible to find a sunset in Kuwait without streetlights and electrical wires, even a sunset over the water.
I haven’t seen a sunset behind a mosque, or behind one of the fabulous dhows or . . . Liberation Tower, Kuwait Towers. There are still a lot of options out there, and you have ONE WEEK. One week, today, I will post a series of photos narrowed down – some have already been disqualified, because although they were beautiful, they were not Kuwait.
YOU will vote. For one week, bloggers and commenters can vote. Together, we will choose the one we think wins the Great Kuwait Sunset Challenge.
(I already know what the next challenge is going to be. 🙂 )
Sunset Someday
Awwwww. . . .I couldn’t resist. Here is the Great Kuwait Sunset Challenge entry from Kuwait Blogger Someday (Red) who actually found a vantage point for a sunset WITH NO STREETLIGHTS!
Woooo Hoooo on you, Someday!
I totally love the way she framed the photo with palm branches, don’t you? She urges you to look closely, there really is a setting sun in the photo!
AbdulAziz’s Sunset Entries: Great Q8 Sunset Challenge
Wow! The Kuwait Sunset Challenge is up and running, and our first entrant sets a very high standard! AbdulAziz has his own Flikr page with other gorgeous photographs; he takes his photography skills very seriously, as you will see.
Now for the impossible – the photos are all gorgeous. Which one is your favorite?
(This one was disqualified because it was shot in Lebanon)

Thank you, AbdulAziz, for your beautiful entries! Anyone else who wants to send photos to me, you are welcome, please send them as attachments to your e-mail!
