Nothing like it


I don't think I've ever seen the quality of light that I saw at dusk just now.
I was strolling on the boardwalk that runs parallel to the Corniche, a boulevard that skirts the shoreline in Doha.
It wasn't as humid today as it has been.
In fact I went out because the persistent haze that seems to be an integral part of summer here had finally lifted.
As the sun set, the light became this creamy soft orange. It lasted only a few minutes but it was stunning. I'd love to see that light on a sand dune... maybe when I camp out in the desert.

  1. Stunning. When I was in Saudi, the sunsets were a gorgeous red, from the suspended desert dust.
