green sunset

a beautiful sunset at Bahrain Fort with fellow GPN photographers..
i specially like this photo because i saw a child being helped by his parents to get up the walls of the fort.. i could have taken a fixed shot at them but since im using a wide lens, i tried to include the setting sun as well but not very detailed… the lower part of this photo was underexposed because i was trying to catch the sunset yet i tried to fix it with p*shop… i can try to fix this better next time…

As part of Bahrain’s National Day, we have partnered with Qal’at Al-Bahrain Site Museum for a photo exhibit entitled “Bahrain Fort Through The Lens” from December 13 to 24, 2009 at the Qal’at Al-Bahrain Exhibit Hall. It aims to promote awareness among Bahrain’s general public about the cultural essence of Qal’at Al-Bahrain (Bahrain Fort). The exhibit will showcase the many faces of the magnificent fort as well as its day to day scenarios artistically captured through the lenses of Gulf Photographers Network.

“Hold up… hold on… don’t be scared
You’ll never change what’s been and gone
May your smile… Shine on… Don’t be scared
Your destiny may keep you warm.”

breaking the rules

“If there are no miracles then we need to find another word for the existence of life – the existence of you and me – on earth. Call it a gift from spirit (God or god in whatever form works for you), serendipity, happenstance or plain good fortune. I invite you to look at your life as if it were a miracle. To treat your life in any other way seems to me to be a terrible waste of your unique presence on this planet.”

“Whether we name divine presence synchronicity, serendipity, or graced moment matters little. What matters is the reality that our hearts have been understood. Nothing is as real as a healthy dose of magic which restores our spirits.”
