Another walkway park

This is another “walkway” garden that extends through the length of two full blocks. The first section of it is heavily planted, shown here; the second part is mainly arcade kind of structures to walk through. There’s a mosque in the middle of the passage, so this walkway garden is used a lot by workmen on their way to prayers.

Update on Tim, and thank you to everybody for asking: He has been diagnosed with lymphangitis, an inflammation or infection of the lymphatic channels, often caused by strep. They are continuing with the heavy antibiotic IVs, and the doctor said maybe he could be released on Wednesday…

This is a very neat park, a bit incredible that they can maintain this in the desert. V
Tim's Wednesday coming home sounds promising.
