Sepia full square edit version. Ghosting going on in the cables but I like this full square version so wanted to post it. Thought the sepia gave a warmer atmosphere to the eye and its passengers.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Previously unpublished shot from May 2017. One from the "not my best but I'll keep it anyway" collection that I never thought I would post here to Flickr but, thanks to Covid, I find myself having to dig deep. Hope you enjoy!
Bin Zaid
(known previously as Fanar or Qatar Islamic Culture Center and Spiral Mosque) is a cultural organization in Doha, the capital of Qatar. It is a prominent landmark in the city.
The center's most distinguished feature is its mosque, which has a unique minaret design inspired by the 9th-century Great Mosque of Samarra. It remains the tallest mosque in Qatar.
In the foreground is Souq Waqif, a market in the center of Doha. It sells traditional clothing, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. The market also houses restaurants and hookah bars. The market building, built in the mid-20th century, is designed in the traditional Qatari architectural style and was renovated in 2008.
Souq Waqif originally served as a place for trade between Bedouins and locals, primarily goods for livestock. However, the market fell into disrepair in the 1990s, and in 2003, much of it was destroyed by fire. This prompted a government restoration program to preserve the market’s architectural and historical identity. Buildings dating from the 1950s were demolished, and older structures were renovated.

Die irische Stadt an der Westküste Irlands wird sehr gern von Touristen besucht. In der Mitte des Wild Atlantic Way gelegen, ist Galway berühmt für künstlerische Kreativität und eine ansteckende, lebhafte Atmosphäre, die besonders bei den vielen Festivals und Veranstaltungen zu spüren ist. Von Musik über Pferderennen bis zu Literatur und Austern – in Galway weiß man, wie man feiert.
Das ganze Jahr über herrscht lebhafter Trubel, der die Stadt zu etwas ganz Besonderem macht. Kein Wunder, dass die Menschen hier jedes Wochenende in die großartigen Bars, die traditionellen Pubs und die erstklassigen Restaurants strömen.
Ruhe findet der Besucher abseits der Touristenmeile in den Gotteshäusern...
ich habe den Moment der STILLE hier sehr genossen ;-)

Die Königliche Oper (dänisch Operaen) auf der Insel Holmen von Kopenhagen ist die dänische Nationaloper und eine der modernsten Bühnen der Welt. Institutionell ist sie Teil des Königlichen Theaters.
Das Haus ist eine Schenkung von Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller und der «A.P. Møller und Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Stiftung» an den dänischen Staat. Arnold Peter Møller war Mitbegründer der Firma Mærsk, dem heute größten Unternehmen Skandinaviens.
Das Gebäude wurde von Henning Larsen entworfen. Der Bau begann im Juni 2001 und wurde am 1. Oktober 2004 beendet. Das Opernhaus wurde am 15. Januar 2005 mit einem Sonderkonzert eröffnet. Ministerpräsident Anders Fogh Rasmussen und die dänische Königin Margrethe II. waren anwesend. Die erste Opernaufführung, Verdis Aida, fand am 26. Januar 2005 statt.
Im Jahr 2008 erhielt das Bauwerk sowie die verantwortlichen Architekten und Ingenieure den Outstanding Structure Award der IABSE (Wiki)
Falcon Hospital in Souq Waqif, Doha.
In Qatar, the state sponsors a full-fledged hospital for falcons – more than 40 thousand birds pass through it every year. They do everything there – from treating fractures (often caused by a falcon crashing into something at high speed) to prosthetics for broken feathers (necessary to maintain aerodynamic properties) and cosmetic procedures such as sharpening beaks and claws.
Another normal scheduled freight train to Kurkimäki has arrived with empty timber wagons and class Dr18 leading the empty train. Now, the diesel is going towards the other end of the train, and it is having a sightseeing while working.
Boats in the Doha Bay, part of the Persian Gulf, Qatar. They used to be sailboats and were called dhows.
Dhows (or dhows) are traditional wooden sailboats that were used in the Persian Gulf region, including Qatar, for fishing, transporting goods, and pearl diving. However, modern boats in Qatar include various types of motorized vessels that are not dhows. Traditional dhows can also be modernized and equipped with motors, but this does not make them the main motorized boats in Qatar. So, dhows are just one type of vessel that is characteristic of the culture of the region.
Naousa (Greek: Νάουσα) is a fishing village and community in the Cyclades. It is located in the northeastern corner of the island of Paros, and it has a population of 3,134 (2021).
In the summer Naousa attracts many tourists from all around Europe because of the climate and the nearby beaches, like Kolympithres. During the winter, it is cold and occasionally snowy.
