Tonight, a MASSIVE golden moon rising over Kuwaiti waters...

Post new topic

Here it is folks! Will be spectacular to see, especially in Kuwait as the moon seems to float on the sea (Persian Gulf).

Lets say you're on SAS's or The Palms' beach looking out over the sea - there you'll see a MASSIVE golden yellow moon rising over the waters. Oh and wait there's more! For a few minutes, with the moon on the one horizon, you'll see the setting sun on the other - equally "big" and bloodred.

Friday and Saturday evenings both should offer great views of the moon over the water as it will be darker then when the moon will "surface"!

Oiya Nic! Could you believe the dust/humidity?!!! I think your shots are the best I've seen!!

NicoleB

Sunrise is 10-15 min late every morning too :(
Don't know what that haze is. Simple humidity haze or pollution?
Is it the same in other parts of Kuwait?

Haven't seen any other shots :(
The moon was just too far away for me and I didn't feel like going down to the ocean (prefer not to go there alone in the dark ;))

care for me
