Hello Achim,
A good capture of this interesting old fort. The remains of the tree in the foreground makes a useful initial focal point. Good colours and clarity.

Hallo Achim,
Critique may not contain any reference to points that will be given in the future.
Irgendwie will das nicht wie ich es will und es erscheint immer diese Meldung. Egal, jedenfalls ein klasse Bild.
Grüsse Helmut

Bonjour, cher ami Achim,
Intérieur et extérieur du fort ! quel bonheur de pouvoir les deux côtés.
Impressionnant que de pouvoir contempler après tant de siècles les vestiges de ce style arabe étonnant.
Un grand merci du partage.
Amitiés.

Hi Achim,
Well picked foreground detail making this simple fortress view more interesting. Funny how that shadow is actually more recognizable as the bench itself. I can imagine the old tree there and people sitting around it.

Hello Achim
The fort doesn't seem to be very large. Made with mud & bricks, you presented a good POV here. The WS is also fine showing the interiors of the fort. Well done!
Best regards

Hallo Achim
Rock-solid this "sand castle on a beach"!!
Still cuts a fine figure despite its venerable age!
The inside is very spectacular too.
Thanks for this historic view.
