	Bahrain was playing New Zealand on that day, here being watched outdoors.		I enter the Business Marina part of the city. An interesting contrast between ancient and modern
I guess the boats must be the homes of building workers, of which there are many.		Gone fishing.
	More pointy buildings on the horizon.		Tree planting going on here
Closer now they seem huge. Correction, they are huge.		This one's the grand daddy of them all. Its the Bahrain World Trade centre and has won architectural awards. That's in spite of the fact that it looks as though it's falling over!!
	Here, a reflection of it in an adjacent building.		This is the clever bit: three wind turbines are situated between the towers.
seen here in close up. Well as close up as the lens on my Canon G11 will get.		Meanwhile, in another century around the corner, children play.
	and a sad old concrete mixer on waste ground nearby.		some more shots from the older part of town.
