Clouds are a strictly winter occurrence in Bahrain. Big fluffy ones. Ones that just graze the sky. And the ones that are just floating out there, alone. And then there are skies like this. Colourful, rolling clouds that remind me of mountains at sunset shrouded […]
Looking down from the top of Corona Heights Park in San Francisco. And the view was incredible. Worth the surprisingly steep climb up to see it. Though the scale of the walk up wasn’t all that apparent until I looked down at the path where […]
Just like any other morning. With a veil of haze floating in the air. I can’t remember whether the haze was fog or dust. Whichever it was, it’s an atmosphere I love to capture.
Sunset views of an alternative nature here. Blame it on the number of high-rise apartment blocks that have gone up in the area. Once upon a time, even while working, I had a great view of the sunset. (And the sunsets in Bahrain are not […]
