Ancient, old, and new all in one single view. Beirut’s skyline is like no other city I’ve visited. You do yourself a disservice if you don’t spend the entire time looking up. (Though that may also mean you step in one or two dog turds!) […]
Photo 8/52 | Beirut Facades
Beirut has such a familiar vibe to it. There’s so much of the city that feels European. And some of it reminds me of Bahrain. It’s a beautiful cross-over of the Middle East and Europe. Taken from the corniche looking inward towards the city, this […]
November 2018 | Alcatraz, USA
There’s no other place quite like Alcatraz. To listen to the stories of what wasn’t really all that long ago. It’s when I realised the stories weren’t all that long ago that I really grasped the reality of where I was. On the boat, sailing […]
September 2018 | Boston, USA
Downtown Boston. The buildings, a mix of old and new. Probably the only US city I’ve visited that reminds me of London, with this mishmash of architecture. And yet despite the mishmash, everything just seems to feel like it always existed just like it is. […]
Photo 7/52 | These Rolling Clouds
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 […]
November 2018 | San Francisco, USA
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 […]
December 2018 | Manama, Bahrain
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.
Photo 6/52 | Alternative Sunset
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 […]
November 2018 | Bentota, Sri Lanka
Bring me that horizon. Endless and faraway, it seems like a place with so many possibilities. I could have stared out at that horizon for hours at a time. In fact, I might have. Occasionally, you’d see a boat or freighter somewhere far off in […]
November 2018 | Bentota, Sri Lanka
As close to paradise as I’ve ever been is where this is. Bentota, a beautiful coastal town on Sri Lanka’s south-western coast. Wide, white sand beaches. Green, blue sea. And palm trees for as far as the eyes could see. This was just one side […]
