Monochrome Hillside Houses of Abha

A high-contrast black-and-white photograph of Abha, Saudi Arabia's traditional hillside architecture. Whitewashed stone houses stack along a narrow winding alley, with dark timber balconies, intricate mashrabiyas (lattice windows), and elegantly weathered wind towers. Stone stairways zigzag between facades, arched doors hint at age-old living spaces. The rugged Asir mountains loom in the distance under a pale sky, textures of plaster, stone, and wood rendered in sharp detail and moody grain. Low-angle composition emphasizes vertical lines and rhythmic layers of the buildings, creating a timeless, heritage-rich mood.
