JZog and the Beast

Many apologies for the dearth and brevity of my posts of late.

I have crawled into my cave to do battle with the next chapter of the dissertation. Beastly, really beastly, it is.

Still, I called a truce with the beast this morning to walk down to the bay and practice my photography skills. While still not cool, in any sense of the word, the heat index has finally dipped below 100 degrees in the mornings, making it comparatively bearable to spend some time outside.

Sunrise at the Sheraton

Established in 1979, this Sheraton holds the status as one of the oldest hotels in Doha. It remains popular as a conference center even though several newer hotels have popped up in downtown Doha.  Of course none of those has their own peninsula that juts out into the bay.

Near the Sheraton, I discovered this monument to the ewer.

I also had a different vantage point to some of the buildings I see every day from the apartment.

Yes, That Appears to be a Flying Saucer

And, last but not least, a decent photo of my apartment building.

Now, time to return to my cave to slay the beast!
