My brother requested an urban landscape shot of each city I visit. I didn't have much time to take pictures in Jordan, but here's a shot from the window of our partner's community center in Amman.
And since I returned to Qatar yesterday, I will also include a few shots from National Day celebrations in Doha in December. Frankly, Qatar's National Day made most July 4th celebrations look like child's play. And the fireworks display over the bay was like nothing I've ever seen. The mood was particularly electric due to the announcement of Qatar's winning World Cup bid a few weeks before.
