The real national symbol of Qatar

The real national symbol of Qatar, originally uploaded by frank.mara.

The national symbol of Qatar is the Oryx, a nearly extinct type of antelope. It's featured on the tails of Qatar Airways aircraft. The backhoe excavator is probably a more apt symbol, given the volume of construction underway across the country.

I shot this photo in 2007 and I'm continually surprised at the level of interest it receives on Flickr. It's been getting 6-10 page views per day over the last several weeks and is currently the most frequently viewed photo in my portfolio. Shot with a Nikon N80 on Kodak Gold 100 film and a Nikon 28-70mm f3.5D lens.
