In this second image of the "light show," taken by Tim right before we left, Burj Qatar on the right is starting to change color from silver to orange, and Tornado Tower is now blue.

We spent all day walking around the West End of Doha, where most of the spectacular architecture is located. One of the things I really wanted to see on this trip was more of the buildings lit up at night. Not all are, but those that are illuminated are fantastic. After seven hours of walking, we were heading back to our hotel and cut across an empty lot when we turned around and saw two of the iconic buildings here, the so-called Tornado Tower on the left, and Burj Qatar on the right, lit up. Both of them kept changing, the former from blues to reds, and the latter from silver to orange, with light shows in between. It was an amazing sight; we must have hung around for half an hour enjoying it.

Same scene, but this one taken by me a little earlier and with the buildings in different colors:
