Do go and view a variety of skies at Sky Watch Friday here.I've just got back from a trip to Bahrain. This tiny nation is one of the more popular destinations in the Middle East. It was good to spend some days in Bahrain. With its authentic Arab heritage and relaxed culture, I experienced how the place lives up to its reputation for being modern and liberal.
As usual, I've come back with quite a few pictures.
Here are a few pictures of one unique landmark of Bahrain: the Bahrain World Trade Center.
Capturing the evening sky, I shot these two pictures when I was seated in a taxi that took me to Manama while it stopped at a traffic signal:
The next was shot when I was walking towards the Diplomatic Area:
The day light was fading rapidly after sunset when I started to shoot these pictures:
These sail-shaped WTC towers are designed to funnel wind through the gap to provide its acceleration through the turbines. It is said that this has the potential to generate electricity to the equivalent of providing lighting for about 300 homes annually.
Happy Skywatching.

Interesting structure that dominates the skyline. I am pretty curious about Middle Eastern countries. I wish I could visit someday.
This looks like a great place to visit. I enjoyed and appreciate you taking us along with you through lens.

Great series of shots...beautiful skies and architecture. The last two are my favorite.
In roaming around places beyond home, in essence, turns the home into an invisible knot that ties endless strings to many homes around....it connects many souls too...
I do not envy you for being in the core of one such knots but people envy me indeed of having one such friend by me...
I wish more ribbons to the knot for you, Celine !!

The towers look very glittering esp at night! The Arab version of the twin towers.
Never saw them before and they do look quite modern!
Beautiful views of the towers.
Wonderful shots of that fantastic building and the changing sky above it.
