Blue and gold

Yet another gate that I liked in this new neighborhood.

I thought I would have some new and different pictures tomorrow as we were supposed to go on a tour to Ta’if, close to Makkah and the rose capital of Saudi Arabia. But in the end, we decided not to go as we would have had to leave for the airport at 3 a.m. today and get back home at the same time tomorrow, so in effect around 48 hours without sleep. It just wasn’t worth it, so I have old pictures, still ;-).

A very impressive gate that can probably hold back an army. Nice crisp shot. V
