Rarity

Not as big as some houses, but a creative design, I thought. I find it interesting that somebody was actually tending the little patch of green in front – such a rarity to see something like that.

*****

Another gallery I never finished was this one, of palatial residences in Riyadh. Not every Saudi lives in a palace, although some do and many come pretty close. They all have gates, some of which appear in “The Gates of Riyadh” gallery, too, but in these I tried to show more of the houses to give an idea of how people live there. I must add that our house in Riyadh was nothing like any of these ;-).

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

That’s the tiniest front yard I have ever seen. It seems strange. Your composition is interesting with the variety of shapes. V

intriguing design that moves beyond the basic rectilinear structures you have previously shown..
