Qatar is a small (11,000 sqkm) but indubitably important Persian Gulf nation; aside from oil, more natural gas reserves are found here than anywhere except Iran and Russia. It is nearly totally surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf. The country is flat with some rocky outcrops up to 130 feet (40 m) high, with the desert landscape ranging from rocky shrub-land to beautiful sand dunes, and some bleak salt flats in the centre of the country.
On my way from Nepal I've decided to have half a day stop over there too. Rented a car and went directly to desert to be rewarded with some stunning desert shots which I didn’t hope for. This one was taken just before sunset. The wind was blowing strong and dust was flying in the wind with wonderful evening light. Even this is not typical desert photo, I'm very pleased with the result.

A caravanserai (Persian: كاروانسرا kārvānsarā) was a (usually Persian-inspired or built) roadside inn where travelers could rest and recover from the day's journey. Caravanserais supported the flow of commerce, information, and people across the network of trade routes covering Asia, North Africa, and South-Eastern Europe. Most typically a caravanserai was a building with a square or rectangular walled exterior, with a single portal wide enough to permit large or heavily laden beasts such as camels to enter. The courtyard was almost always open to the sky, and the inside walls of the enclosure were outfitted with a number of identical stalls, bays, niches, or chambers to accommodate merchants and their servants, animals, and merchandise.
Caravanserais provided water for human and animal consumption, washing, and ritual ablutions. Sometimes they even had elaborate baths. They also kept fodder for animals and had shops for travellers where they could acquire new supplies. In addition, there could be shops where merchants could dispose of some of their goods. The word is also rendered as caravansarai or caravansary. The Persian word kārvānsarā is a compound word combining ''kārvān (caravan) with sara (palace, building with enclosed courts), to which the Persian suffix -yi is added. Here "caravan" means a group of traders, pilgrims, or other travelers, engaged in long distance travel.
This particular shot was taken in Virani caravanserai in Mashhad currently used as Mashhad Anthropology museum which nicely shows how the daily life in such a caravanserai looked like. The woman in the photo is actually no mystery to me but a dear friend Mashid who was kind enough to take her chador (A chādor or chādar (Persian چادر) is an outer garment or open cloak worn by many Iranian women in public spaces; it is one possible way in which a Muslim woman may follow the Islamic dress code known as ḥijāb. ) to "model" for me to add a human element into such an environment. I have purposely chosen low shutter speed (1/15 s) to capture the movement.

The Kings House Hotel is a remote inn and hotel at the eastern end of Glen Coe at the junction with Glen Etive in the Scottish Highlands. It is sited in an isolated position, about 2 km to the east of the head of the glen towards Rannoch Moor, and faces towards Buachaille Etive Mor which is very popular with rock climbers. It is called the King's House because British troops were billeted here following the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The inn lies on the old military Wade road that crosses Rannoch Moor. The road crosses the River Etive at the inn before continuing into Glen Coe and ascending the Devil's Staircase. The military road then heads north across the hills towards Kinlochleven. The former military road now forms part of the West Highland Way. The Kings House was built in the 17th century and is thought to be one of Scotland's oldest licensed inns. In late 1746 the building became a barracks for Crown forces under the command of the Duke of Cumberland. The buildings were used as base while soldiers conducted operations to crush or capture any remaining Jacobites in the Highlands.
If you plan your trip well, this location will offer you plenty of photographic opportunities nearly out of the window. Kings House Hotel is one of those amazing places you can stay and practice your photography as soon as you step out of the door. I have purposely booked 2 nights there and could not be happier with the results (and all that “extra” sleep I got, while not needing to drive far as you shoot till 11.30PM and should start at 4AM if the strong will gets you out of the bed). Note that during summer time, you need to book way ahead of your trip as it is extremely popular place, especially with walkers.

Malaysia - Penang - George Town - Unesco World Heritage Site - Church Street Pier - High end waterfront place of leisure - Century ago main pier for small boats to unload their cargo
Lot of people often forget that Penang is, first and foremost a port. It still is a busy one. Port Swettenham on the north of the Weld Quay is now the berthing place for cruise ships as well as ferries to Sumatra and Langkawi. The newly renovated Church Street Pier is now a high end waterfront place of leisure where a century ago, it was the main pier for small boats to unload their cargo.
The Church Street Pier, for many years a run-down, abandoned pier, was recently refurbished. Built in 1897, the Church Street Pier hails from a more romantic era when the Penang Channel was a much busier waterway. You can stand on the pier and imagine the waterfront choked full with sampans, perahus, junks, steamships and cruise vessels of varying sizes. Today the scene at the harbour would seem more orderly and perhaps less picturesque.

This photo captures ruins of Cill Chriosd (Church of Christ) on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The ruins of this church are frequented by the odd tourist and sheep, with a stunning backdrop of the red Cuillin hills. Cill Chriosd (Church of Christ) lies atop a small rise near Swardale in Strath Suardal valley, east of Broadford on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The valley has seen Christian activity since the 7th Century, when St Maelrubha preached from a nearby rocky knoll called Cnoc na-Aifhreann, (Hill of the Mass). Just south of the church is Loch Cill Chriosd, a shallow, reed filled loch. The first stone church to be built here dates form medieval times. The ruins of the current church date from around 1500. Services at Cill Chriosd continued into the 19th Century when the parish church moved to Broadford. Within the graveyard are a number of graves relating to members of the MacKinnon Clan. Just to the left of the entrance gate is a medieval grave slab with a beautifully carved foliate cross. In the 18th Century the valley was busy with marble quarrying and at one between 1907 and the outbreak of WWI a short railway ran from the quarry to Broadford Old Pier.
Travel Directions and Getting There - The church ruins are 2.5 miles south from Braodford on the B8083 road to Torrin and Elgol. This is about 11 miles from Kyle of Lochalsh and 27 miles from Portree.
