"The Force of Nature is a series of sculptures by artist Lorenzo Quinn that depict a woman pivoting the world around with a piece of cloth. The woman, presumably Mother Nature, is swept with a gust of wind, forcefully draping her attire and hair behind her. There is a vigorous sense of motion radiating from each installation that also performs a remarkable balancing act between the Earthly sphere and its navigator.
Having displayed slightly different versions of this piece all over the world, from England and the United States to Monaco and Singapore, each sculpture provides its own sense of twirling motion without the slightest bit of physical movement. The ripples in her garment and the strain of the cloth wrapped around the globe offer enough visual clues to allow one to surmise the structure’s intended action. Ultimately, the illustrative piece offers a surreal presentation of the Earth’s rotation through a personified force of nature." (from My Modern Met)

Taken this morning at 5:13 am, many thanks to my good flickr friend Jaweed (J.G.R) for driving me to this great viewpoint on the city of Doha. I had to wake up at 3:45 (sunrise a 4:45) but it was worth it!
Digital Blending, 3 exposures at f/8 for the city, 1 exposure at f/22 + ND400 (30 sec) for the water. Then a few filters in Photoshop to get the desired colors and glow.

From a previous trip to Qatar back in May this year. Very impressive architecture, and the interior is even more fantastic. My next post will be an interior shot.
This is a panorama made from 2 landscape shots.
