Kuwait reizt mich auch. Vielleicht werde ich das Land auch eines Tages besuchen.
Sei lieb gegrüßt und habe eine angenehme neue Woche.

You found a perfect photo for a combined post to Blue Monday and Mellow Yellow. That bright yellow really sets off the blue water.

Thanks everyone :)

@Kvelli, wenn Du Staub magst.... ;)

@Nukke - my husband worked there and so I was with him for one year.
I might go back again in September.
Some pics and stories I already have transferred from my old blog, if you want a look:

That says SO MUCH about the culture there - the symbology of the ancient minaret combined with the toys of modern leisure.

Amazing colors! The towers looks so surreal! I would love to see what they look like from the inside.

Thanks, everyone :)

I'll show you one of these days, at least some parts of it. Haven't been in the Restaurant - bottom right sphere - and neither in the left one, since that's still used for water, if I'm not wrong. :)

WOW! What a fabulous picture. Obviously you get the whole yellow-blue juxtaposition and framing and negative space thing - really cool. And really in Kuwait! Bright Yellow jet skis all lined up and ready to go are so not what I think of when I think of Kuwait!
Happy Blue Monday

Grin, CailinMarie, thanks.
I don't know if I "get it".
I would say I was just lucky.
I was at that point pretty frustrated to not be able to shoot pics ON Green Island and walked along the coastline instead.
I guess, I was lucky ;)
Here's what I saw from the outside:

I envy you. It looks as though you've seen and lived in very different cultures and places in this world.
Those towers look different to any of our Western buildings, beautiful.
