The arched windows
Arched windows look out over the courtyard, so the host can see who is coming up the path.
The sheltered desert plants
Spiky plants have found the one shady corner of the courtyard and claimed it. They are very proud of the shade.
The flowers by the path
A row of blooms sits in the sun, looking after itself while you find a seat in the shade.
The arched doorway
The lodge's doorway is arched and wide enough for a warm welcome and a tray of something cold.
