The photo challenge this week says that I have to take a picture of something – now and today… without cheating! I found out today’s theme while at work so I decided to take pictures on my way home.
I came from a night shift so I thought the sun would be up when I come out of the hospital.
Before I went home, I dropped by the cafeteria and bought some vegetable noodles to bring home for breakfast.
On my way home. Our place is known as the City of Gardens because everywhere there is greeneries.
Taking a shot while on stoplight. The last intersection before my building.
Taking the stairs on my way to my unit on the fourth floor. Exercise.
The views from where I live.
The morning promises that it’s going to be a great day.
And when the world is about to start their day, mine’s ending. Time to sleep now. Have a great morning, everyone!
A Dose A Day 
Loved your pictures of your route home for the TODAY challenge. You live in a beautiful garden city. Thanks for sharing.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

You managed to snap off some wonderful shots on your way home, Nelson. I hope you got some rest, and got back up in time to enjoy some of that lovely sunshine.
I went up to Richmond today and took some city shots to post as well, for those that have never visited our city. It’s amazing how similar cities are, yet how different they are at the same time, depending on their location, and the culture of the fine folks living in them.

We still have lots of Rotondas here in Al Ain! But slowly they are changing them to stoplights one by one. They feel that rotondas/round-abouts are much dangerous.
