Getting up early to witness the sunrise takes a lot of effort, but it’s ultimately worth it. This particular morning I was in Doha, the capital of Qatar. I walked through the empty, grand corridors of the St Regis Hotel to the jetty next to the waters of the Arabian Gulf.
The tall buildings of this showcase city – which pulsate with colour at night – looked steely in the early light, but it soon gradually turned lustrous and golden, shared by the occasional bird and little else. The sunrise belonged to me and I was privileged to capture a little of its essence. Well worth the early alarm call…

Beautiful images, Mike. The skylines win it for me, though.
Thanks Richard :)
Don’t we all love jetlags? ;)
Ha! Oh this was a perfectly scheduled date with the sunrise. And they don’t like to be left waiting :)
A romantic date with the sunrise? ;)
You’ve caught me out, Koos :)
