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.

Spider

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!

Detail V

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