notes:

Glimpse through a small opening of a “ Mashrabia”, which is a typical type of wooden window, generally applied in domestic architecture during the Ottoman Turkish period. It served double functions: a- to cool and regulate air flow through it’s round wooden sections, allowing smooth and dim illumination during hot weather and b- to enable viewing the outside from inside without being seen from outside of the house. This House was built in Cairo in 1648.

Great work Wahid, you `ve handled the illumination quite well and exposure is perfect.

Perfect work and perfect plot. At last that someone thinks of destiny of the man and forces to think others.

Great plot and an even better image.

fantastic shot of a fantastic place:) and although the place is wonderful, the pattern of the wooden window is absolutely fascinating, I think the great sense of humor is the photo`s main quality. Well, in any case, this is an positively excellent image, one of my favorites.
