op: great pics buddy..i myself will never see the corniche that way because i have never been up at that hour in my entire life:-)

brit: your 'home' has amazing weather buddy..of all the things i miss most from my time there, its the snow, rain and winter..people with rosy cheeks, warm cafes to duck into, snow to fall on haha..i had the locals whining all around me about the rain and cold but just couldn't see why haha..i guess you value things more when you don't have them..which is why they love the warmth here as much as we hate it..
'as a rule, man is a fool; when its hot, he wants it cool; when its cool, he wants it hot..always wanting what is not' lol
