Door detail I

Sand collects in this detail from a door on a restored building in Muharraq, the old capital of Bahrain. The building is now a restaurant serving traditional Arabic food. I can't tell if the sand adds to or detracts from the image.

Door detail II

This spiral sun detail looked so delicate that, when I processed the image after shooting it, I decided to give the entire image a delicate look.

Door Detail III

Late afternoon sunlight catches this door handle and brings out the warmth of the carvings and grain of the door.

Door Detail IV

The sun does a wonderful job of bringing the carver's work to life in this image. This door has a hidden visitor that I didn't spot until I was working on processing the image. There's a jumping spider hiding under the bolt. See if you can spot him!

Door Detail V

While other doors are more precisely restored, this older door is full of character and belies the history it has seen.
