What is so cool here is the look of the ancient past, not what we in the USA define as 'old'. The style is a blend of European meets Middle East. Even the iron railing is styled. An amazing look at a most interesting city and country!
I'm so thrilled to see this lovely banister! Especially as I have seen such staircases without any railing whatsoever this is much saver as well as being beautiful!
I LOVE this one. Your architectural shots always have so much personality. Possibly because of the focus on details. I particularly like the shapes - almost like silhouettes.
Love the contrast of the crumbling wall and the more modern (tho I am sure it isnt new by any stretch of the imagination) railing
ReplyDeleteI like the color tones and the framework. Nice idea
