Complementary

Another gallery I never finished was this one, of palatial residences in Riyadh. Not every Saudi lives in a palace, although some do and many come pretty close. They all have gates, some of which appear in “The Gates of Riyadh” gallery, too, but in these I tried to show more of the houses to give an idea of how people live there. I must add that our house in Riyadh was nothing like any of these ;-).

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

That is a very pretty entryway. I thought they were all hidden away behind gates!

What an interesting design for a door - the palm trees make a nice addition. V

A lovely residence, out of my price range though. Very well photographed.

So many different shapes and patterns to be seen here. Nice crisp hot. V

Impressive, and interesting that symmetry does not seem to be a major design concern. The door is offset from the upper columns and windows, and the large white dome doesn't seem to line up with either. Attractive, nonetheless.

A great photograph this entrance door was designed by an artist, impressive lines and curves catches the eye instantly.
Pin sharp presentation.
