Courtyard

This was an interior courtyard that hosted a number of offices as well as a masjid, a prayer room that serves as a mosque. Yet another style of window here that I found quite striking.

One of four “Openings” images posted earlier today:

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/160s f/10.0 at 24.0mm iso100 full exif

Quite an elegant and modern place. I like the shadows from palm trees and how they accentuate the shapes of the tress themselves. ~BV~

It all looks so spotless and the floors gleam. I love these buildings, especially when framed by palms. Excellent capture here. VV
