Lens Artists Photo Challenge – Architecture

Architecture. Big thanks to Amy for the challenge.

The Al Shaqab horse arena in Doha, Qatar, is an architecturally-impressive mega-structure situated on the northern outskirts of the city. It features hugely impressive indoor and outdoor arenas of equal scale, which host show jumping, dressage, and other equestrian events.  There is an emphasis on promoting the Arab horse breed. The below shots feature the outdoor arena FYI.

MB attended Al Shaqab for the first time yesterday afternoon to view a Swiss watch company Longines-sponsored international show jumping event, featuring over 40 horses and riders from many countries, including three from MB’s Ireland. Everybody who attended got a free USD 1,000 Longines watch to boot, which was extremely generous of the Qatar/Longines people. Longines company are producing quality watches in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, since 1832. MB just thought he would give them this little plug/mention in thanks for the awesome freebee, which should see sales hit an all-time high in the coming weeks.

MB did not have any super duper camera & zoom lenses with him. All below shots were taken on MBs Sony RX 100 M6 pocket camera.

“You’re a genius MB. How do you keep on doing it?”

“Thank you guys. Nail on the head, MB guesses. Genius.”

“And did you not take any shots with your Huawei Chinese Camera Phone thingy MB?”

“Of course MB did guys. But MB will save those for another post. Too much awesomeness could be just a little too much for followers to handle in one single post.”

“BTW guys. MB was just kidding about the free Longines watch!”

“Ha ha ha, MB. What a kidder you are!”

“Voila guys:”
