For quite the most astonishing architectural photographs that I've ever seen, go to:

This also raises two more points in my mind. The Der Spiegel article mentions that, apparently, the Qatari mullahs are prepared to relax Sharia law for those who will be attending the World Soccer Championship in 2022. It may be seriously suggested to Western politicians and diplomats that soccer might be a much more effective way to dissolve the tensions that now exist with Islamic countries. (And what about cricket also?) Secondly, the German architects of the stadia are putting their faith in solar-cell technology for the vast amount of energy that will be required. However, see the companion piece to this for a breakthrough which might be a superior way forward, perhaps even by 2022.
