'The' gate

This front gate is what I had seen from the car the week before but had been unable to take a picture of. Photographing this gate was the ostensible purpose for returning to Diriyah so soon, but the visit turned into much more than that!

A view of the building:

I see why you were so taken with it. It's just beautiful and beautifully photographed. This would be right at home in New Mexico. V
