Yet another palace

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 was another palace in the “ritzier” part of this neighborhood.

The last of three pictures of Sahraa romping in the fountain, posted earlier:

The palm trees and upside down trees, as well as the lamp posts give this place a very elegant look - your composition shows it off very nicely V

I like the geometry of the building. Nicely composed with the trees on either side. V

security and privacy seem of paramount importance to the inhabitants..
