Sandal-sellers, Doha, Qatar

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 on 17 February 1967. 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 where this old street was, so I have just located Doha in general on my map).

Hi, Sandy! Lovely to see you! Thanks so much for taking a look at these photos. I know they won't mean much to most people, but there is a reason that I am posting them (at least on Flickr). Certainly a different world - and one that I really enjoyed and will always remember. A great country.
