Small Bizarres No. 37 - Katara's Artificial Sand Dunes...



Anywhere else this type of intervention would count as a 'Big' Bizarre. However, here in Qatar, the most it seems to get is a raised eyebrow... The included images are of the artificial sand dunes currently being constructed around the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, or, as the Katara website exclaims - the Valley of Cultures... Apparently 'valley-forming' is exactly why they are being constructed for this very level location. 

There's plenty of hearsay floating about what exactly their eventual purpose will be. It's going to be interesting to see what the outcome will be which, knowing at what pace this type of projects seem to get realized here, will probably be sooner than expected...
