#365 / Kuwait - Dust Party - Day one, 5.30am

Dust Party - Day one, 5.30am

Hazy dust, dangerous. You go out, thinking its humidity or dust and breathe it. Am sitting on the balcony anyway. But not for much longer, not smart.
The forecast had it until Thursday, but they took Tu & Wed out (they don't mention it for today any more either though, so go figure), temps are up to 45C / 113F, but here at the coast it's less - only about 40C.
Happy weekend everyone ;-)!

#Kuwait - Another day in paradise

It seems I cannot win, can I? It's either dust, backpain and headache or more dust. Here's to hoping it doesn't grow into a grown up dust storm and just stays hazy and icky.

 Ich kann nicht gewinnen, oder? Entweder Staub, oder Ruecken mit Kopf oder noch mehr Staub. Ich hoffe nur, es bleibt bei einem mittleren eklig klebrigen Ministaubgewirbel und waechst sich nicht zu so was ekligem aus, wie letzte Woche!

#Kuwait - Dust minus Bunnies

We got one of those sneaky dust storms. The ones where you think it's just windy and gloomy. 
Really weird is, that it comes from the ocean. 
Sure tell tale sign was the sky turning yellow. 
It's all the Iranian's fault, I tell you!

Creeping dust I hate thee

Creeping dust I hate thee

We got it. The dreaded dust I saw in a photo from Dubai on Friday.
I was afraid it would get here.
Well, it's here. Not a storm, just a blanket of dust hanging in the air - for now.
It's still nasty with it's silence.
Many will not cover their faces and get sick.
You go out and the air around you is clear, it fools you.
After a few meters you feel a fine film of 'something' covering you, after a few more meters you feel it in your nose and throat, even if covered.
Dogs don't like it, I don't like it.
Go away!

An old shot from 2007, but so the same, taken with my old cam - still good for occasions like this, sigh.... ;)
