Today's photo captured my heart's feeling now. Its so grey and sad!

Welcome to the Inside World of Winter Camp

Today's photo is the follow-up of yesterday posting. As I said earlier that our Sales team was visiting one of the winter camps around our neighbourhood and unfortunately I was not with them during the visit. Otherwise I might end up having tons of photos and might be bothering you with the similar photo from days to days. LOL

Anyway, please allow me to explain to you all readers about the trip there, though this will be a second hand report. I hope I would not be getting carried away with myself nor exaggerate the story. Here you go! The first photo was the shot of the tent with the wide open door inviting you to come inside to feel the warmth and cosiness of the inside against the cold freezing winter wind. Most tent would look dull on the outerior but you will be surprise once you enter inside as you will see a different world.

Lets go inside, its cold out here!!!!!

Most the inside interior of these winter camps are accesorized in a very rich and elaborately beautiful by the owner. You could see the typical Middle Eastern fabric pattern; red and black fabric used to decorate the inner wall and most furnitures and even the carpet would be predominantly red.

Happy New Year 2009

Winter Camp at Sakhir Oasis

The Green Oasis at Al Areen

Today, I am posting a photo that I took earlier today at 4 pm. It is an oasis located just so close to our resort.

Here is the whole story; I was bored and tired in my office and I remembered that a few weeks ago while passing the road to the resort I saw a glimpse of this oasis from the hills on the left side of Oryx Hill and promised to myself that oneof these days I am going to walk out of the office, passed through the spa reception, then up to the resort entrance, further up to the rocky hill and go down hill to get closer to the oasis. I did it today and tomorrow the follow up photos will be posted with more stories.

I enjoyed the walk down the rocky hills and I wish everybody to have a nice day TODAY!

Sunset at Al Areen

Earlier this evening at 4.50 pm and I was just leaving the spa entrance and lookep up to the sky. It was so beautiful orange and white clouds upon the blue sky as the sun was near to set.

Have a nice evening all whereever you are !

November Rain

This morning at 9.00 am, we had a little drizzle in Al Areen. There is no wonder the dark cloud in the horizon cause the rain.

Road Sign - Work in Progress

Today's photo was taken on the road near Wild Life Reservation in Al Areen. There is some work in progress now for the future building of Haji Hassan Building. Though, this sign is common seen all around Bahrain now due to many projects are going on now.

DP Theme - Lines

Today's photo theme is Lines. One could interpret this differently and this is what I see on these scaffolding lines.

The King's Palace at Sakhir

This is an entrance of one of the King's Palace at Sakhir, near Al Areen area where I am working. The update I heard that the King has 7 palaces all around Bahrain and unfortunately they are not open for public eyes. The closed gate and couples of guard and the hight green plant wall make me more curious how the palace is going to look like inside. Is it as grandeur as we heard from the story?

Today is my 200th posting! Hip Hip Hooray!

Shajarat Al Hayah or The Tree of Life

Today photo is a famous tree in Bahrain called The Tree of Life or in arabic translated as Shajarat Al Hayah. Actually I already posted it yeterday but today I want to show how it looks from afar. It is a very old tree of 400 year old and considered as a natural wonder. It stands alone in a desert near Al Areen area. Until today, the source of its water still remains a mystery because it stands in a place completely out of water.

It is a mesquite tree and the reason why it survives the harshes life of the desert you could find here at Wikipedia (Lol I am doing a little research on this one).
