Theater gate

I thought this was the most interesting gate. I keep seeing a face in the design, like a theater mask or something.

Such an intriguing and attractive piece of work. I also perceived a face/faces in the gate immediately. Made me think of the comedy/tragedy masks associated with theater.

I shapes and tones in this are so attractive. I would love to see this one in B&W. ~BV~

Amazing capture of the curves and lines. Beautiful. V

Yes, looks like a face...nice but not really a smile :))

certainly a distinctively modern house with simple and elegant lines; I see the mask theme

The geometry is really quite special. V

A really impressive design and I see the face, too! I can see why you miss this kind of architecture. V

Wow. The entire structure is remarkable. It is very modernistic including that fabulous gate. Superb shot. V

Unique. So very 'modern' compared to other gates

Looks like an anime face to me too. V

I love the architecture here - the monotone seems to replicate the Saudi tradition only in a modern form - and what a cool gate ! V

both joy and sorrow in that ambiguous theatre face...the graphic complexity adds real zing here..
