After 8 hours in transit ( no I don't mind really, the lounges in Dubai airport are quite good, spacious and great food ) ready for flight to Brussels

taxi

ready to go

ready for take off

Al Hamriya Fish Markets

and the building does not seem to stop

hola, is that a potential new surf break

and this one ?

After Dubai, we flew pretty much the whole way over the persian gulf in the middle, so no view of Iran or Oman, and now we see Kuwait, very hazy though

Mubarak, the great port

Part of Bubiyan Island

Mighty Tigris river, end of the line as it is about to enter the Persian Gulf

Zubayr

This is exciting, although I had hoped to fly over
Lake Urmia again, but I never got good shots flying over Iraq, as well, its been a long time

Iraq

its a long river

and I would love to be able to pinpoint where all these town are, (this is Numaniyah I think )

but am a bit lost and . . . . well, I want to get off the computer and finish this post :-)

looking more like the River Seine winding through Paris countryside after a hot summer :-)

curious what this is

Lake Hamrin ?

clarity finally getting better
