Oil spill in Mangaf, Kuwait
The smell was gone this morning, the light oils stains are still there though. On a positive Note: I either have missed some winter guests in our area, or migration has started :-) -
Oil spill in Mangaf, Kuwait
Update to the latest environment news: The smell of petroleum came for about 1 hour later that morning (Jan 25th) I have been in the city yesterday, so no update for that day. Today I've been in Fahaheel early in the morning. It was hazy again, but this time from humidity and all over. At... -

Oil spill in Mangaf, Kuwait

Oil spill in Mangaf, Kuwait
Remember when I said yesterday that there is Petroleum smell in the air? Well, this morning I learned what it was. I was wondering about a guy walking along the beach yesterday, bending down every few meters and checking things. You rarely see guys collecting shells, right? He was most likely...
