Bahrain by night

At night, I wandered around the area near my hotel to capture the ambience of the area near my hotel.


My next stop a few days later was Abu Dhabi. This is the airport; well, a little bit of it.		Outside, I await my host who was going to drive me to my hotel.
	Shortly after, Alex is taking me on a whistle stop tour of one of the richest cities in the world.		More exotic buildings.
Clearly a city that has encouraged architects to enjoy themselves.		We even made a brief visit to the Grand Prix track which only opened recently.
	all taken from Alex's rather nice black Porsche!		This is one of the cities shopping Malls, note the Ferrari logo on the roof.
There are many Indian workers in the city earning, typically $100 per month. here one man is mixing some cement in a bucket. Maybe his next job is to straighten the bent lamp post!		This is the Traders Hotel, very nice, very swish and I'm here for two nights. Thank you to my hosts at Twofour54.
	a few snaps taken around the Shangri-La complex.
		looks even better now I'm back in the rainy and windy UK!
The Mosque is the third largest in the world.			It looks nearer than it is. I know, I tried to walk there the following day.
	after dark, it all became even more interesting.		Some 'wow' lighting as seen from the Shangri-La hotel.
