This picture was taken for an article published in a Kuwaiti lifestyle magazine called Thouq ( ذوق ) for fall 2006 issue. The shooting took place at four different locations in Kuwait City in August when I was home for my summer break. But it wasn't selected by the editor for publishing, another one was chosen. The article talked about the daily life of a young Kuwaiti man named Mohammad AL-Naser. He is a college student and a swimmer at one of Miami's universities in Florida, USA. It was an amazing experience filled difficulties especially the hot weather, yet it didn't lack pleasure. The article was written by Fatima AL-Naser, a recent Kuwait University graduate.
Thanks to the magazine's editor Bader AL-Hujailan, and Ahmad AL-Ghanim.

PS:
I tried to give a different look for my stream, as I ended up uploading many winter shots, which are desaturated and have cold tones. This picture has hot colors which may warm your eye for now.
