The view of the skyline of Manama, Bahrain, from across the Bahrain Bay, is dominated by the twin towers of the World Trade Centre.

Great take on those towers, Dayo!
Interesting toning that I find really effective here.

Thanks for the comment @Bart

These went up after the atrocity in New York and I had a small role in validating the vehicular circulation for planning permission. Found out that there are over 300 other WTC buildings around the world with over 50 in the USA.

Unfortunately, these towers were also touched by tragedy as after completion, the British Engineering Firm that was lead designer went on a celebratory dinner cruise and tragically lost several members of staff when the dhow capsized.

Beautiful display of those towers, Dayo!

Very creative photo! Are the three horizontal structures connecting the two main parts of the building places where people walk?

 

[Dayo]

Thanks for your gracious comment, @dossy

@Mike Buckley, Thanks for the commenting. The horizontal structures are only there to hold the wind turbines incorporated into the building.

Great capture of this remarkable structure, Dayo!
Looks like an environmentally friendly design.

A very interesting building and well captured in both photographs.

Hi Dayo. Your second shot looks great. The first image is very nice too, but to tell you the truth the blur is not to my taste, but this is just me. It is a very nice scene for long exposure photography. If I was there I would certainly use my ND filter to make the water look flat.

Thanks @Bart, @Mike Buckley, @gnagel & @Binnur.
