October 06 20112011-10-06A photograph taken from inside a covered entrance looking out across a paved courtyard toward a low brick boundary wall, palm trees, and a red multi-storey building in the distance. A corrugated metal canopy on red steel beams overhangs the doorway, with two hanging decorative fabric tassels in blue, orange and red patterns. A red carpet and a green mat lie at the threshold, and a blurred figure in yellow and orange cloth stands at the right edge of the frame.
