Bahrain’s most-famous landmark, the Bahrain Financial Harbour towers,  photographed from another equally famous structure, the World Trade Centre, this evening. The view, which I saw for the first time, is a photographer’s delight at any time, especially at night. It presents a remarkable view of the Manama skyline as well as the busy King Faisal Highway, Bahrain’s lifeline and the centre of the country’s financial district. I am sure this picture, taken with a mobile phone and with a rooftop swimming pool in the foreground, is just the first among a few score I will snap in the coming few weeks and months, especially in the winter.

One of my favourite pictures of the Bahrain World Trade Centre, taken a little more than a year ago. Before the twin towers, as well as the not do far away Bahrain Financial Harbour buildings came up, there was no real landmark in the country visible from anywhere. Though no one ever gets lost on Bahrain’s streets, if one does, he simply has to look for the “towers” and get his bearings. And it always works.
This building is also one of the most well-lighted and decorated during a celebration or a festival.
