Weathered door

On the day before we left Riyadh for good, we were provided with a driver to take us wherever we wanted to go. One place was the National Museum of Saudi Arabia for a final visit.

One final door in a display at the museum. As people who followed my Saudi galleries would know, the Saudis are masters in creating superb doors and gates, a tradition that had to have started with ancient ones like this.

the plain door to my apartment is no match for the rustic charm of this one...
