Sun down

I've been on my first Sun-Down; a picnic by the coast to watch the sun set. Everything was very organised; no sooner had we stopped than loads of blankets, tables, chairs, food and drink was all laid out and every one chilled out and relaxed. Dangling ones feet in the Gulf was actually quite weird; the water was really warm and exceedingly clear. As the sun went down the lights of the town over the bay came on and the call to prayer could be heard over the water. A beautiful view made a little strange due to the gas flares at the industrial city some KMs away. After the sun went down the lights and flares kept the dark away, and the heat of the desert kept us warm as we chatted the hours away.

Very well organised with tables, chairs, food & drink

Beautiful warm and clear water

Stunning sun set

  3. Hey I've found out how to read your blog!! I've lost the one person who could show me how to do it!
    Love the photos and I think you could make a living as a travel writer if you get fed up with this job.
