The Pearl Roundabout, Bahrain

I took this shot when I had had my Sony Cybershot for about a week. I was visiting my sister TMLHereandThere in Bahrain, and had just discovered the joy of taking 60 million shots while in a moving vehicle. It was my first digital camera.

So, this is being posted for historical reasons. As you may know, the Pearl Roumdabout became the focal point for Pro-Deomocracy rallies in Bahrain in February 2011, and was subsequently destroyed by the authorities in March 2011 to stop people gathering or camping at this point. As far as I know, the unrest continues, though it is no longer 'news' and is not reported on by the UK press.

It was an important landmark.
