Kuwaiti visitors at the yearly book fair , that opened in Kuwaiti today 13 Oct 2010. The ministry of information said in a statement that its censorship committee has banned only 25 titles out of 24,000 books for abusing God, prophets and other religious figures, books on pornography and others undermining Kuwait.Liberal MPs and civil society groups charged that the government was attempting to stiffle freedom of speech and thought.But Islamist MPs praised the measure saying it is obligatory for the information ministry to ban books that abuse God and other religious figures.
In this picture i used my Cokin P007 infrared filter ( Dark red filter) which is good for the Black & white shots and the good thing with this filter that it reduces the shutter speed in day time as you see in this picture.
Note: By my D300, first uploaded one.

I started travelling internationally right after finishing college when I took a teaching position in Kuwait. Over the decades of my career, my partner and I have continued to work in or explore different parts of the world. More recently, since taking early retirement, we manage to spend around five months away during Canadian winters.
I kept track of all the places with a blogged list. In 2018, I decided it would be useful to find a single, personal image to represent each country I've visited. I have put these into a single Flickr Album. A photograph may occasionally be updated if we have a return visit.
These are organized alphabetically. You should be able to go forward or background from the image's main page where you can also see the names, and dates. In most cases the EXE date is correct. Some images may have been scanned and dates approximated.
Kuwait City reflect in the Arabian Gulf water "Parliament building(R)" today 6 Dec 2011 . Kuwait's ruler dissolved parliament (R)Tuesday and set the Gulf nation toward elections, citing "deteriorating conditions" amid an increasingly bitter political showdown over alleged high-level corruption.The decision by the emir, Sheik Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, comes less than a week after he named a new prime minister and parliament sessions were put on hold.

Kuwait City (Arabic: مدينة الكويت, transliteration: Madīnat al-Kūwait), is the capital and largest city of Kuwait. It has an estimated population of 63,600 (2006 estimate) within city limits and 2.38 million in the metropolitan area. Located at the heart of the country on the shore of the Persian Gulf, and containing Kuwait's parliament (Majlis Al-Umma), most governmental offices, the headquarters of most Kuwaiti corporations and banks, it is the indisputable political, cultural and economic center of the emirate.
The Liberation Tower (2nd highest building on the right of the photo) is the highest structure in Kuwait. Construction of the tower commenced before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. It was meant to be called The Kuwait Telecommunications Tower. When the invasion took place, construction, which was almost half-way complete, was put on hold. However, the structure received no damage, and construction resumed after Saddam Hussein's forces were expelled on February 27, 1991. Upon completion in 1993, the tower was renamed the Liberation Tower, symbolizing Kuwait's liberation from Iraq. The tower contains a revolving restaurant and observation platform (in the first disc-shaped pod; now closed to the public for security reasons), and also houses radio and other telecommunications offices. The structure stands at 372 meters high (1,220 ft) at its pinnacle. The roof of the second pod on the tower is 308 meters high (1,010 ft). It is similar to the CN Tower because both contain a revolving restaurant, observation platform, telecommunications equipment and the same look.
As in all Middle East, the city skyline is constantly changing also in Kuwait City . The tower on the very right is a new addition to the city scape. Weather across Middle East has changed in last few days and Kuwait is experiencing humidity over 80% from its usual 10%. Change of weather has brought some clouds to Kuwaiti sky, which beautifully enhance colors in the evening sky.

Kuwait City

A quiet summer night showed Kuwait City with bright lights , through marine boats , located in the east of Kuwait City in a famous market called Sharq Mall , where you sit in such a quiet night to see the movement of boats, to hear the roar of the machines, and the sounds mixed of musics and humans voices.
ليلة صيفية هادئة تظهر معها مدينة الكويت ، بالاضواء الزاهية ، من خلال مراسي المراكب ، التي تقع في سوق شرق المشهور ، شرق مدينة الكويت , حيث تجلس في مثل هذه الليلة الهادئة لترى حركة المراكب ، واصوات هدير المكائن المختلطة بالموسيقات وأصوات البشر ، من خلال جولاتهم في المراكب.

Uno de los edificios más emblemáticos de la ciudad, en realidad son tres torres. La más alta, que mide 187 m, tiene dos esferas: la inferior está formada por un depósito de agua en la mitad inferior y un restaurante en la mitad superior, y la esfera de arriba es un mirador giratorio.
La segunda torre, de 147 m, sólo tiene una esfera, que es un depósito de agua, y la tercera tiene forma de aguja y contiene el equipo eléctrico para iluminar las otras dos torres.
Se inauguraron en 1979
