Katara Beach

Still on the coast, but in Doha, the next day. We drove out to the Katara Culture Center, where we had visited on our first trip to Qatar. When we got there the water was this beautiful, icy shade of blue against a threatening sky. I jumped out of the car to try to get a few captures of it.

The weather was terrible on our final day in Doha, and we left in the middle of a thunderstorm, but it did make for some interesting light on the water.
