Louis CK travelled with the USO to entertain the troops in Kuwait and Iraq recently. Here’s his story. He’s a comedian but also a photographer and took interesting photos from the helicopter rides. Note his comedy and the blog link has a bit of swearing and is sometimes crude.

Our Garden in Kuwait
We have one strawberry plant in a pot by the front door. You can click on any of the following images to open it up larger.
And some other flowers growing into the palm leaves.
This is growing in a bush at the neighbours driveway.

I saw this in the International Clinic parking lot.

Camels up close
I was driving south to Kuwait City from site in North Kuwait and there were these camels along the road. I thought it would make a nice photo against the powerlines. Note that it is hard to frame the photo on the display in the bright sun so the shot isn’t level.
I had the car off and the window open to get a better shot and the camel was ambling quickly over to me. Then I looked out the other window and saw …
Oops, with electric windows I had to quickly start the car to keep the camels from putting their curious heads inside. They are big – towering over the little car. Below is through the front windshield.
And also through the windshield.

Driving home from work, Ahmadi to Fintas
Long wait at the light on the 212 compared to the driving time.
One photo every four seconds on the way home from work. I’ll try more experiments with a faster frame rate. Scare having my lens out there in the wind. I did it with my 10.5 mm fisheye by the way on my tripod stuck out of the sunroof. You can close the sunroof to hold the tripod from moving.

Suburban roll over
It looks like it was going along the road turned the other direction and rolled over stopping on the fence. Note the dome light is still on.
Suburban’s are tough! We had one and it was hit by a car a few years ago in Canada which went through a red light that they didn’t see due to the glare from the sun. The old old Suburban hardly moved but the car that hit us was quite smashed in in the front. Nobody was injured then fortunately.
