Old style, new construction

This latest series of what will probably be eight images were taken while we were walking with the sons of our hosts to see the construction under way on the UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was a private house, behind high walls as most houses are here, with new doors styled like traditional ones, which I understand is now required for any construction here. I also thought the stone walls of the house were interesting, quite different from those I've seen in Riyadh.

A well composed architectural image with this crop and lighting. The shadows add depth to a flat subject. "V"
