Went for a Walk - 2

This post is a continuation of "Went for a Walk" (Click HERE if you haven't read it before). I'm going walking/jogging every two or three days or so, and decided to take a few more snaps yesterday. Sorry for the bad quality, it is a phone camera after all:


Busy traffic going into Manama, with Bahrain World Trade Center and the Financial Harbor looming in the background..


Bahrain World Trade Center, nearing completion..


The emerald green Financial Harbor buildings gleam in the sunlight..


A view from the corniche, with some kids playing on a profile model of Earth..


Work on Bahrain Bay and the remaining Bahrain Financial Harbor stages have managed to push this corniche pretty far inland. In some places, it doesn't even feel like you're walking by the sea any more..


Restricted? Really? Don't think I could enter even if I wanted to.









Hope you liked them :)

    Those are beautiful pictures! I always wanted to visit Bahrain but ok when living in Kuwait it didn’t sound as a real holiday to go house next door! :P

    But now with the F1 track I will for sure be visiting sometime in the next 2-5 years! At least before my Ice Man retires!!!

    switch camera on, press button.

    no seriously though, just visualize an image, with multi layers (close objects, far objects), imagine a frame, consider the right angle (especially considering where light falls on whatever objects youre shooting). Its a full process, I dunno. This is a really crappy camera phone; I don't carry my regular camera when running.

    do you live near where I work? Or do you deliberately go drive over to take a walk on the corniche?

I don't usually moderate comments, but recently i've been getting a ton of "buy viagra" "check out this search site" "buy casino chips online" related comment spam, so the moderation is back on. Don't take it personally.
