Once again I got a chance to visit the top floors of Al Hamra Luxury Center, the tallest tower in Kuwait. This time I had a chance to shoot in an open space / balcony of the 60th floor.
Actually it was a surprise visit and I was not aware whether the pass is available or not. I've always wanted to have an access to the top floor in an open area as I wanted to capture the wonderful views from above. A big thanks to all my friends for making it happen. I was a bit sad and frustrated during my previous visit as we only had an access to the 55th & 59th floors. I was not able to get nice photograph results because of the double layered glass walls. (Although we shoot in a dark area, some reflections are present and dirt marks are visible too) You can check my previous visits here .
I was pretty happy for having this chance again to see Kuwait lighted in colors in an aerial view! I really enjoyed this visit not only with the photos I got but also the moments we had during the photo shoot. Not to mention the new good friends I met which made this visit more enjoyable.
The photo shoot was really quick, because I had several things to do after the visit and the allowed time was a bit less too. So I did some shots quickly and left the place for another days exploration.

Below are some of the evening shots I took:
Credits to all the cool security guys of Al Hamra Tower for giving us the access again :P
