#45 EXPLORE, April 16, 2015
Almost the whole Netherlands enjoyed the sunset of yesterday, November 22, 2016. Everywhere on social media you saw pictures. I drove home on my bike while taking pictures during my a 10 km long track. Ilpendam, 2016.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
Kuwait
The State of Kuwait (i /kuːˈweɪt/; Arabic: دولة الكويت, Dawlat al-Kuwayt) is a sovereign Arab nation situated in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south, and Iraq to the north. It lies on the northwestern shore of the Persian Gulf. The name Kuwait is derived from the Arabic "akwat", the plural of "kout", meaning fortress built near water.[5] The emirate covers an area of 17,820 square kilometres (6,880 sq mi) and has a population of about 2.7 million.[6]
Historically, Kuwait’s history is significantly tied in with Iraq’s history, from the days of Mesopotamia until the Neo Babylon Empire. The region was the site of Characene, a major Parthian port for trade between India and Mesopotamia. The Bani Utbah tribe were the first permanent Arab settlers in the region and laid the foundation of the modern emirate. By the 19th century, Kuwait came under the influence of the Ottoman Empire, and after World War I, it emerged as an independent sheikhdom under the protection of the British Empire. Kuwait's large oil fields were discovered in the late 1930s.
After Kuwait gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1961, the nation's oil industry saw unprecedented economic growth. In 1990, Kuwait was invaded and annexed by neighboring Iraq. The seven month-long Iraqi occupation came to an end after a direct military intervention by United States-led forces. Nearly 773 Kuwaiti oil wells were set ablaze by the retreating Iraqi army resulting in a major environmental and economic catastrophe.[7] Kuwait's infrastructure was badly damaged during the war and had to be rebuilt.[8]
Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government, with Kuwait City serving as the country's political and economic capital. The country has the world's fifth largest oil reserves[9] and petroleum products now account for nearly 95% of export revenues, and 80% of government income.[10] Kuwait is the eleventh richest country in the world per capita and has the highest human development index (HDI) in the Arab world.[11] Kuwait is classified as a high income economy by the World Bank and is designated as a major non-NATO ally of the United States.[12]

I'm gonna capture 'em all
A clay nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna show it all
Taking their time right in front of my lens
And I'm talkin' to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
This picture is special to me because it is probably the only shot that I've done where I was very pleased with it from the begining and quite proud of to a point. I'm guilty of being self critical at times but for once I found a picture that I was happy with :-)
I think I will always remember taking this shot. It was part of the second set of Illuminations shots that I had taken and I was trying to make a reasonable attempt to get at least one shot from there. What I remember most was the anticipation (which I get with most long exposures), and then seeing it on the small screen. I liked what I saw, but I've had shots like that before, where they look good until you put them on the computer. And I just hoped that it had worked out as well as it seemed. I was very happy when I saw it on the big screen, and furthermore, I've done next to nothing with it, other than a slight crop and a slight colour enhancement. I'm a bit bemused by that.
The only question I have is the old PoV on the lagoon debate. We are always on the bridge at International Gateway, which means including the island/trees. If I was dead centre I would have avoided that, but on the other hand, it's another aspect of the shot. Another one for the jury, lol.
All Nations Park, Northcote
This bust by some anonymous artists appeared a few months ago in All Nations Park. It was in initially removed by the Darebin City Council but has since been returned with the consent of the artists and will be there for twelve months after which it will be auctioned off with proceeds going to a local homeless support service. Quite a talking point in our community and a nice distraction from other things.
