I think I have posted this topic into my blog. There is something wrong with my blog that the posting that I have posted on 27 March 2010 is gone.. hmm.. I have to post a new one then..

So guys.. all of you already known about Earh Hour.. what I do understand about it is.. it is to make an awareness to the people for global warming..

ABOUT EARTH HOUR (contents taken from http://www.earthhour.org)

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.

Earth Hour 2010 takes place on Saturday 27 March at 8.30pm (local time) and is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community throughout the world. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, to get involved and lead the way towards a sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to Asia to the Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world from all walks of life will turn off their lights and join together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.

Here are some of the banners of Earth Hour taken from their website..

So on that day, 27 March 2010, I went with some of my friends to Intercontinental Beach in West Bay area in Doha to witness whether Doha will also going to support the Earth Hour. As expected, Doha also joining them to support the Earth Hour.. all the tall building in Doha, is in darkness since before 8.30pm that night.. but the whether is not so good to take pictures coz of the sand storm.. dust is everywhere even you have to drive carefully not to hit others..

To make it fun & enjoyable outing, together witnessing the Earth Hour supported by all people around the world.. the only thing that I can do is playing with some lightings.. light painting & such.. oohh.. I’m not suppose to use light by the way.. it’s Earth Hour lah.. hehehehe.. but what are you going to do with the weather condition like this in doha.. what to do yakni.. play with lightings lor..
