Here is one of the very first photos that I took. It is the view from my hotel room.
This blog began as a description of our life in Al Ain, UAE (United Arab Emirates). Brn worked at the UAE University Libraries Deanship for three years and Bss homeschooled our four children, D, B, P, and O. After returning to the the USA for five years, we are living in Abu Dhabi now.

Early Photos
It seems hard to believe that I have now finished half of my three year contract. Sometimes it still feels like I just got here. I was looking for something else and came across some photos that I took my first couple of weeks here. Looking at them is sort of like seeing Al Ain through the eyes of a newcomer. It is interesting to see what I took pictures of, and what I didn't. But since I never posted any of these (that I can remember) I'm going to put a few up.

Hi there,
we, Ali & Musaed, started a podcast about our daily lives in Kuwait ... and we would like to invite you to listen to it at:

When I moved to Al Ain 9 months ago, the night-time view of the "golden necklace" up to Jebel Hafeet was singularly fascinating.
(My daughter call it the Stairway to Heaven.)
I hardly notice it now.
Hey Sheri,
I think that I agree with kochumanavalan, I rarely notice these things anymore, which is sad, but human nature I'm sure. I think that is why some of these photos struck me so much. I would never take some of these pictures now, since they are just everyday sights now. We all miss you too, especially at this time of year. Love you sis.
kochumanavalan,
About the only time that I really take note of the lights on Hafeet now are when we are driving back from Abu Dhabi at night and really only then to note that we are almost home.
I have nearly the same picture except at night.
I remember it. It too was taken in my first week in Al-Back back in 09/92. I was in my room (don't recall if it was after sometime on the first floor ;-) ) and I hit the mini-bar in the room. Cigars & brandy, set up my new tripod and mounted my Minolta to it.
I then snapped the shot. IIRC I posted a link to it sometime ago. I have it on my blog.
