Ornate window

One of the houses in the development shown below, but obviously in radically different light (well, actually in the shade). I thought the pattern inside the window box was quite fascinating as well. Hard to believe they would put something so ornate in a housing project!

Another part of this housing development:

Actually it is kind of cool that whoever built it paid that much attention to adding classic details. In the shade it looks a bit ominous. Nice shot, Helen. ~V~

A nice detail. Good to see that these mashrabiyya windows are still being applied in modern Arab architechture. V.
