The wall

This was the wall at the entrance to Al-Meqer Palace. I didn’t see it until we were leaving, but loved the playful color.

This is the end of this small sub-gallery. It was a fantastic place, so surprising to find pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and really deserved more than the 30 minutes we were given to see it.

Thanks so much for all the kind comments, and now back to the rest of our wonderful weekend in Asir.

This is a nice treatment for an otherwise simple stonewall.
