Do you remember Google+? I can hear some laughs and snorts just writing that question. I was one of those poor saps who actually devoted their time to building out their presence on that platform. For real. 90% of what I shared there was my […]

Just look up
That’s all you have to do. Look up and find another view. Living in Bahrain, with all of the high-rise apartment blocks and buildings, I did see something different every time I looked up. And that view changed with the time of day. In the […]
Beirut, some of my favourite facades
Hands down, Beirut has the most beautiful building facades I’ve seen. They’re a mishmash of old, new, high-rise, offices, apartments. Balconies overflowing with all sorts. Not to mention actual palm trees growing off of balconies and rooftops many, many floors above the ground floor. And […]
February 2019 | Beirut, Lebanon

May 2016 | Muttrah, Oman
Ever find yourself looking up a lot? I do. And then I get rewarded with scenes like this. Taken in Muttrah, Oman just as the sun was setting. Being May, it was still plenty hot. But with a slight breeze and no direct sun, enjoyable […]
December 2018 | Juffair, Bahrain
There is no rhythm nor rhyme to some the buildings here. Tall, short, orange, blue, green—I guess it’s just a matter of whatever the creators feel like creating.
