Glimpses

I walked back home from Fahaheel yesterday.
The weather was nice and I wasn’t in the mood for yet another weird Taxi driver.

It was worth it.
I got some neat shots of the new mosque and of some people at the beach.

You can see that it was still quite hazy.
I hope today it will be finally all clear again.
I will be out for another walk with a Kuwaiti woman this morning.
Am all exited :)
We originally wanted to go to Mangaf beach to do some clean-up.
But I can’t let King run right now.
He pulled a muscle the other day while hunting either that cat, that bird or that poor doggie.
He’s alright, just needs to rest. That old man has that every once in a while and acts like a typical man. Bitching and whining with every move ;)

Since when do they have that big screen on top of the NBK building?
It displays beautiful flowers, puppies and kittens….
Like we really need more people buying cute kittens and puppies in this place?

The new mosque.
Via Intlxpatr I learned the other day that they tore down the old mosque two years ago and obviously have been very smart in the act, which created a big mess and it took them two years to clean it up.
This mosque is under construction now since at least beginning of last year. I took my first pics of it when I got here in April, so I will show you the whole series as soon as it’s completely finished :).

And this is how you can enjoy the beach in Kuwait ;)

Sorry girls, no offense. But I so love those chairs :D.

They did put up some new signs at the gulf road (opposite of the mosque), or I haven’t seen them yet.
Try to attract tourists? Muah :D

(Sorry for the weird angle, but I didn’t want the traffic to kick my butt - yet another reason why I love my cam: I can twist the display ;)!)

Thanks :)!

Yeah, you should come, you probably don't recognize it no more.
They just tore down one of the houses close to the beach front.

I just wish they would make the beach a bit nicer. But thenagain, I would probably complain about too many people being there :P

Nicole, I have NEVER seen that screen before! Just what Fehaheel traffic needs, something to distract them while they are driving. And . . . I also never noticed what looks like a restaurant above the NBK Fehaheel branch.

You see SO much more when you are walking. And it looks like we are in for another beautiful day today! Wooo Hoooooo, Nicole!

Danke, Dirk.
Freut mich, dass Dir die kleine Tour gefaellt :)

@Moey - if we get some more people together. Sure. But for a workshop we need someone that knows what he's doing, muah :) (Hence, not me ;) )

@Intlxpatr
Yeah, I sort of thought the same line.
But I doubt that anyone really sees it from the car.

Yepp, doggies and me are looking forward to get out. They are already cranky and wanna go, but I gotta wait :)

Like I've said before - thanks for showing me something I'll probably never get to see otherwise.

Hi Nicole,

I sure like your photos of Kuwait. Every time you post them, I feel like I'm getting a geography lesson.

Keep up the great work.
