Nightlight
Darkness shrouds Doha like gauze over a wound.
Geometric spires form gauntlets of hazy blue light along major thoroughfares hiding the scarred scenery set to the left or to the right.
Buildings lit from underneath cast ethereal shadows, softening the steel and concrete skyline.
But, the most magnificent transformation occurs as the moon rises.
Ubiquitous mosques scattered around Doha like way stations of faith become beacons of beauty.
Minarets glow as if Allah, the merciful and compassionate, were inside calling for the unconditional devotion of his flock.
The pure light silhouettes the holy architecture against the darkness, veiling the otherwise tormented landscape.
