Palatial

We came across this neighborhood one evening on our way back home from a supermarket, and I was so intrigued by a gate I wanted to go back and see more. It’s not as upscale a neighborhood as the one I photographed last year, but I always find it interesting to see how people live here.

Suddenly we found ourselves in a totally different part of this neighborhood, not with houses but with palaces.

This is the entrance to another very palatial residence.

A unique water tower, posted earlier:
