A Sunset

Every night the horizon lights up
Swirls of pink and orange fading to blue and purple

Few bother to look anymore
At a blessing that only comes once a day

Each sunset is different, no two exactly alike
Difference flows throughout while it is the only similarity

Over the ocean or through the sky scrapers
Out on the prairie or in an apartment

You can still see a piece
A piece of something, something never to return
A sunset

For the colors are shimmering
For a moment they stay
Only to disappear into change
Change just as beautiful as the last

This is why no matter where you go
One thing remains the same,
A difference in sunsets

In your very own sunset


Sp_a0579_1 Sunset, my most favorite time in the afternoon. Sometimes when we were vacant, we went to the seaside to wait and watch the sunset. At the end of the day when I want to take a rest, to witness the beauty of nature and ponder what this so called life to me had offered, then watching sunset is my first choice to do. The picture in the right side was taken during one of our visit in Scientific Center, I waited as the sun disappeared below the horizon to capture few shots from it, that was one of the best shots I captured that day. 

The Kuwait Towers

Sp_a0637_3 Living in this foreign land for how many years made me consider it as my second home.  I learned to love this tiny state in spite of its undesirable climates compared to my beloved homeland, the Philippines.  One of the first touristic place that I visited here was the Towers.

 

The Kuwait Towers became the landmark of Kuwait and it consist of  three towers of reinforced concrete in Kuwait City.  The main tower is 187 meters high and serves as restaurant.  It also has a Viewing Sphere which rises to 123 meters above sea level and you can view the sorrounding cities of Kuwait down . The second tower is 145.8 metres high and serves as a water tower. The third tower houses equipment to control the flow of electricity and illuminates the two bigger towers.

The picture above was taken at night during our third visit there with my brother-in-law Jams, he wanted to see it before he will go back to Philippines.
