Unusual

The innovative architecture in downtown Doha was one of the big attractions of the city for me – it seemed like every building must have been approved for a unique design that would only contribute to the striking skyline because there wasn’t a boring, boxy building among them.

I don’t know the name of this building (featured in the picture below), but it certainly had an unusual base. The next image I’ll post of it is even stranger.

If you compare this picture with the one below, it looks like the building is covered in a thin layer of desert dust. Must be the angle of the light. Great POV and composition.
