Unusual whatever it is

We came across this neighborhood one evening on our way back home from a supermarket, and I was so intrigued by a gate I wanted to go back and see more. It’s not as upscale a neighborhood as the one I photographed last year, but I always find it interesting to see how people live here.

I had thought this was a very contemporary minaret, but maybe Martin is right, maybe it's a water tower?

Great composition. It could be a water tower, but it doesn't seem very large. V
