| Three Wooden Window Screens, Al Ain Palace Museum, Al Ain, UAE © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved Although I have never been to the Alhambra of Granada, Spain, I imagine its design is rich in fanciful patterns, like these window screens in Sheikh Zayed's palace in Al Ain. It maybe difficult to see at first, but this image actually shows three separate wooden window screens, on three separate planes, in three separate rooms and courtyards, all lined-up to make an intricate design within my frame. |

This is an amazing composition Doug... the outer screen replicates the very center of the second one... i can only see bits of the third screen in the holes behind the middle one...
