Ahmadi National Day Lights : I am ashamed to present these rather sub-standard photos of the Nationdal and Liberation Days lights in Ahmadi. I didn't have the tripod that much because someone else was also using it. That's my excuse.

Beach and roads at night : I'm starting to experiment with night photography and here are the results! I don't have a tripod yet, so I had to straighten the photos with software, but no other adjustments were made.

Failaka (1st visit) : John and I went to Failaka, a Kuwaiti island, on Kuwait's National Day (I think), hence all the flags and posters of the Royal Family. What a great place this is!

Green Island : Green Island, which is almost an island but not quite, is a great place for families to go for a picnic and sit near the sea. I spent about an hour-and-a-half there taking photos today. It was much hotter than I expected! All shot with a Nikon D70s, Nikkor 18-70mm lens with Hoya UV filter, plus one shot with a Nikkor 50mm and the macro shots with the Tamron 90mm. Enjoy!!
