Kuwait Liberation Tower, the tallest structure in the Middle East and the fifth tallest free standing telecommunication tower in the world is a source of pride for all those who have participated in its construction.
As part of the team of engineers who supervised the construction, the authors had the opportunity to be involved in the tower construction from the mud slab at lever 18 meters below ground to +372 meters from ground level.
This image is dedicated to all my friends in Kuwait...
These are the landmark of Kuwait, the Kuwait towers. The top pillar that forms the heart is actually one of the three towers. the circular shapes helping the formation of the heart are actually the top of the door framing the entrance to the public bathroom at the foot of the top pillar-tower! This was shot with a Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye. I had to replace the sky as it was very grey, dull and boring.
KDD has made their Mango Juice bigger size for more satisfying thirst! This is the greatest day in Kuwaiti beverage history.

I visited Kuwait city for 3 days for a job interview and loved it. My host was fantastic taking me around showing me the city and I loved the pace of life there.
This photo was taken from the harbour where we took a boat out in to the sea for a few hours to relax after a long lunch.
I didn't get the job but I can assume I wouldn't have had many lunch breaks like that if I had worked for them.
