The bridge links Bahrain's capital, Manama with the island of Muharraq. Here part of it frames the Bahrain World Trade Center (left) and the Bank of Bahrain. both of which I have featured on my blog. The bridge is named after the late Emir of Bahrain.
Dear friends: I'll be traveling so won't be posting images for a while. However I'll try to visit your blogs as time permits.
A brilliant composition. Love the golds of the bridge.
