A few 'money shots' from out and about Doha the last couple of days - not sure why the sunsets have been so fantastic the last week. No - it wasn't smoke from burning Saudi oil facilities, though those are not too far from here... Just enjoying it.
I see a lot of gorgeous scenes. Walking out of work at Al Udeid air base last week at sunset, there was the beautiful orange/ purple sky on one side, then the moon rising on the opposite horizon... and even with the barren desert it is was gorgeous. And for an airplane geek, I was right next to the ramp, so there were some USAF jets parked- and as a bonus got to watch a couple of US fighter aircraft (powered by my company's product...) rip down the runway and zoom climb - a special treat. Alas, no pictures allowed at the base...
But I did get to grab a couple of shots of another work adventure... got to ride on a US Navy helo from Doha out to a ship at sea - and back - for a planning conference. I rode helos more my last mobilization, so it wasn't a NEW experience, but it was still pretty cool - and I am getting paid to do it.
