The stone door in one of the Desert Castles in Jordan: Qasr Al-Azraq


The stone door in one of the Desert Castles in Jordan: Qasr Al-Azraq. This castle is said to have been used as his headquarters by Lawrence of Arabia (so said the keeper).
Although each of the leaves of this door weights about one metric ton (still so said the keeper), this door is quite easy to move, as it is lubricated by palm tree oil. The right-side leaf was closed specially for the photo by the author.
Français : La porte de pierre d'un des Châteaux du Désert en Jordanie: Qasr Al-Azraq. Ce château aurait été utilisé comme quartier général par Lawrence d'Arabie (d'après le gardien).
Bien que chacun des vantaux de cette porte pèse environ une tonne (toujours d'après le gardien), elle est assez facile a bouger, car lubrifiée à l'huile de palmier. Le vantail de droite a été fermé spécialement pour la photo par l'auteur.
