Bahrain, Riffa Fort

This is a photograph from my trip to see my family in Bahrain in December. Riffa Fort was built in 1812 and has now been completely restored. It’s very beautiful in terms of colours, proportions and atmosphere. The fort also houses the Saffron Café, which overlooks the picturesque Al-Haniniya Valley. I had my traditional Bahrain breakfast here on the terrace, soaking up the sun. After a rain-soaked, bitter-wind UK autumn, it was lovely sitting in the gentle sun.
