Another photo that I need to add to my set of old photos taken in Doha, Qatar, 1966-67. catnaps.org/islamic/boats.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhow

Another in a series of old photos taken in Doha, Qatar (Middle East) from 1966-1967. This is a scan of a print made from a colour slide that had been taken in December 1966. Takes me a while to get rid of all the tiny white flecks that you tend to get when you look closely at a scan of an old print, lol - hard on the eyes, too, so I only edit one photo at a time, but it is worth the effort. I feel we were so lucky to live here for six months (and a few years later, 1972-1978, near Muscat, Oman, for six years) at a time when life was very simple and the true culture of the people was untouched. (Note - I don't know exactly what part of the old seafront this was taken, so I have just located Doha in general on my map).

A scan from a print of an old colour slide that I took on 17 February 1967, showing fishermen with their nets on the seafront of Doha, Qatar (Middle East). Wish I had more (and better!) photos from our six months' stay in Doha, from the end of 1966 to the beginning of 1967. I don't have a lot of photos taken during that time, but thankfully have enough to bring back some memories. This city and the desert outside it, was where I learned to drive, in a little red Mini : )

I loved to be down along the seafront in Doha, watching the fishermen and their dhows (boats). Scanned from an old photo.
