Another palace gate

Another gate of another palace, maybe not royal. This particular neighborhood seems to be all palaces, and the crown prince’s mother lives there as well. Needless to say, it’s very difficult to get pictures, and this was taken while driving by sort of quickly ;-), just like the one below. I wasn’t planning on posting these as they aren’t the greatest captures, but I do think it’s interesting to see how the other half lives, so to speak.

Looks more like a fortress. Rather unwelcoming. V
