Sunrise in Doha, Qatar

I caught the rising sun over the beautiful Gulf state

Boarding the airplane to Vienna.

That's how the sun rose over Doha, the capital of Qatar, a little over 6am in the morning. I was boarding my connection flight to Vienna, when I saw that I could capture a wonderful moment. My new Nokia E66 came in quite handy and I snapped many beautiful photos, probably the most beautiful photos with that camera ever..

The funny thing was, the sun appears so majestic and huge in the photos, while in real it was just normal. I love the effect, especially on the second photo. The third one is my favorite, because of the nice silhouette of the vehicle below the majestic sun. I love those photos. Unfortunately, everything was gone in one minute. We were soon in the plane and taking off to cold and rainy Europe. What a pity. But it was definitely a moment to remember.

The majestic sun over Doha and its airport.

My favorite photo.

Landed in Vienna in a cold and rainy February. It's always hard to return home.
