The door at HSBC bank

This is the front door of HSBC bank in Muscat. I had seen it on our drive in from the airport when we first arrived, when it was beautifully lit up, but there was scaffolding in the way. Actually getting to it on a subsequent day proved to be quite a challenge, but we finally found it. This was sort of a drive-by shooting as I wasn't sure who might object to my photographing the bank, but nobody did.

Such interesting architecture and the color at the top of the columns really stands out. V

That's a spectacular doorway. Love the ironwork on the foreground it gives that extra glance.

Now that is a bank! It puts our utilitarian buildings to shame. A marvelous shot, particularly for a drive-by! V
