Simply monumental (3)

This is the smaller of two gates to this house, again shot from the car out of necessity. Even this one is so wide that I simply couldn’t photograph the whole thing from the same side of the road. As I said before, this must be some kind of royal palace under construction.

The gigantic house and the larger gate, posted earlier:

It looks like a fortress. V

It looks more like a border crossing than a gate to a house.

Beautiful and interesting, fantastic capture of these gates. V

Cette entrée est énorme... V

Definitely gargantuan, but still attractive. Maybe you need a 16-35 f4 when you are going around doing these kind of street scenes. Nice capture as always. ~V~

Very interesting. Wonder why they make 2 gates and what is that window for on the right? A guard? Nice capture, Helen. V
