The countryside is dotted with old family holdings from the period before the revolution. This lovely gate with its intricate wrought iron lamps is just one such property. I have no idea who it belongs to but the sight of the gate itself is one that brings a rush of nostalgia.
The gate is stunning. I love the sunburst design in the middle and sprinkled along the edge. The lamps are fantastic, as is the wrought iron of the doors.
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive gate.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of lost elegance, I think of the old Bombay I knew, and the ornate mix of architectural styles flung all over the city.
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful that you record these images from Cairo :)
