New after old

I’ll just finish up this gallery with a few pictures taken in or near the national museum complex that last day in Riyadh.

This door may be new, but I think is just as impressive as the old ones seen in the museum.

Stylish gate, posted earlier:

Well captured design of the door with the white frame and contrasting curving patterns of the wall.

It looks old, even though new, and is a masterpiece I think. Superbly photographed. V

They sure did a marvelous job replicating the old doors. They are so beautiful with such amazing detail. I like the textured walls too. A great shot Helen V

This is where they really put their best foot forward! Well documented, Helen. I wonder if any UAE city boasts a museum yet of comparable sophistication....

Love all the impressive doors from over there. Maybe I'll get Charlie working on carving us a unique wood door. V

Rather interesting, an electric area I suspect with that sign of Danger Electric at the side!
