Royal gate

Close to the neighborhood in the previous nine pictures, we found ourselves in what appeared to be a very exclusive area of royal palaces. I tried to get some captures, but security was pretty tight; right after I snapped this in passing, a red van came up behind us, so we moved on. The national symbols on the gate do appear to be those of a royal palace.

Very modern block of villas, quite unusual for this neighborhood, posted earlier:

this one oozes wealth, and as so often is accompanied by signs of paranoia..

The gate looks so lacy. A stark comparison to the fortress like framing. V
