Photographer’s Note

This amazing building is a restored fondouq (or funduq). It would have contained a range of workshops in tiny rooms around the ground floors where craftsmen would have worked. Upstairs was for living. Sometimes they operated like the caravanserai of Turkey and elsewhere by providing shelter and accommodation for travelling merchants.
This building is now a museum of wooden arts and crafts which is quite appropriate given the quality of the wood work around the sides. It has a cover protecting the courtyard and that tends to give a yellowish tinge to photos. I cleaned that up a bit firstly by adjusting the white balance whilst working on the RAW image and secondly with a white neutraliser filter.

Hi Ian, your 222nd - congrats! And for such a symmetrical number, we have a symmetrical photo. I like the endless arches, the depth and how you;ve managed the light (or lackthereof). You've managed a very difficult shot, extremely well. TFS, Lisa.

Hi Ian.
Amazing building yes, and amazing photo. Stupendous the way we look up and down towards its extremities. Your shot shows the beautiful architectural and decorative features superbly. You did some good PP work on this, and I wonder if you also removed some lens distortion. Anyway, it's a tremendous architecture shot, well done.
Regards,
Andrew
