Crossed door

Since it looks like we might be confined mainly to home for quite a while, and I don’t have a whole lot of recent pictures left (and can’t really get out to take anything serious), I decided to look at some old pictures that I never posted. One of the galleries I didn’t finish (despite its length!) is this one of the amazing gates and doors in Riyadh’s residential neighborhoods. I’m also thinking of publishing a photo book of Saudi Arabia, so going thru my old gate pictures is a way to get started.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

I thoroughly enjoyed your gates of Riyadh gallery, Helen, so it is a treat to see some additions to it. This particular gate and the surrounds, creates a truly beautiful image. Brilliant idea to publish a photo book on Saudi Arabia since you have a wealth of fabulous images. VV
