Seattle-like Sunrise
Good morning, Kuwait!
(How many different blues can you count in this photo? This is a RICH photo in the blue-grey spectrum, one of my favorites.)
When I saw the skies this morning, all cloudy and gloomy, I thought for a minute I was back in Seattle. If I were in Seattle, the temperatures would be much much lower – it is already getting hot in Kuwait, and this Friday we will hit a huge high:
But something is goofy with Zanzibar, on my WeatherUnderground favorites:
How can that be right? Highs almost in the 90’s, lows almost freezing?
It just might rain a little out there, my Kuwait friends. Be careful on the roads and remember:
Don’t Call Until You Reach Your Destination!
Red Sky at Morning . . .
The Qatteri Cat had me up early this morning, and as I made the coffee, I glanced out the window – WOW. Beautiful sky, very red sky, and I wonder if here “red sky at morning, sailors take warning” holds true? It looks like a beautiful day – again – and the water is smooth as glass.
The Qatteri Cat has gone back to sleep.
Molten Silver Sunrise
OK, OK, I admit it, this is not exactly sunrise, it is a little bit later, but I just couldn’t resist the flat glassy calm of the Gulf this morning going all molten silver. Knocked my socks off.
There is a thin cloud covering this morning, but it looks like another very warm day. Have a great Sunday/ Yom al-Ahad, Kuwait!
Sunrise Saturday, 7 Mar 09
The sunrise was so beautiful this morning it was almost painful. My windows are still dirty from the multiple attacks by the dust storms, so I was out on the balcony photographing, and it was chill and crisp, and I remembered to appreciate the feeling of “chill” and “crisp” while it is still hanging around.
It may be comfortable and cool in the mornings, but our temperatures are going up fast. March is the month where Kuwait, where things get colder than Doha in the winter, starts getting hotter than Doha.
It is going to be a glorious day. Not a cloud in the sky, other than that yellowish haze low over the gulf that I think is residue from oil refining.
Sunrise, Sunset
Better late than never:
Sunrise, March 6, 2009
This was a great day to be outside, visiting with friends, walking along the Corniche – just a great day to be outside. The end of the day was rosy:
And here is the beautiful marriage song from Fiddler on the Roof, also called Sunrise, Sunset:
Glorious March Sunrise
It is a perfect day outside, not a cloud in the sky, and the temperature is 50°F / 10°C. It is expected to get warm today, but not yet truly hot. Today is a great day to be outside, my friends. Meet you at the local sidewalk cafe!
For the Record: Sunrise 3 March 09
It’s cold. It’s warm. It’s chilly. It’s hot. There is wind and cloud and clear sky today, and one of those days, sigh, when it’s good to carry a couple extra layers.
Sunrise March 1, 2009
There it is – barely there. There wasn’t so much haze early this morning, but enough cloud cover to give the sun a serious problem breaking through. The haze seems to be moving in again; I need to run to the co-op quickly before the air becomes too thick. I find myself washing my hair more often, it gets sticky and scratchy and full of silt; it doesn’t stay clean for very long.
The weather was funny yesterday – moments of chill, even in the middle of the day, alternating with moments of heat as the sun broke through. A good transition day from the long fun-filled weekend to back-to-work Sunday.
The forecast for today is clear. It was clear. There is a “light haze” moves continuously closer, off the water, and it looks suspiciously like the dust that has been plaguing us the last couple days.
Mostly Cloudy Sunrise
Good morning, Kuwait, or is it afternoon? I know most of you are sleeping in a little, after the exhausting celebrations of National Day and Liberation Day.
I stayed home!
Last year, it wasn’t the foam, although I hate the foam. For me, it is parents who allow their children to hang outside the car.
You know me. You read me every day. I’m not an angry person, but seeing parents with children on their laps, children in the front seat and most of all – children hanging out of windows, or with their heads / bodies out of skyroofs – it makes me see red. I want to get out of my car and scold people. It makes me SO angry that people would endanger their children.
There must be a safer way to express all the celebratory exuberance.
It is mostly cloudy outside.
Liberation Day Sunrise 26 Feb 09
Gooood Morning, Kuwait!
You are going to have a glorious Liberation Day Holiday! It is a new dawn!
The sun is up, and there is not a cloud in the sky.
Party Hearty, and be safe.
