Light

I’ve seen very few gates this color; maybe they should use it more often!

A colleague of Tim’s has connections at the King Abdullah Financial District, that enormous area under construction that I have photographed from the perimeter so often. He thinks he can get us on to the site to see the buildings up close, and even made a phone call last night to that effect. I hope it works out because I would absolutely love to do that!

I like colours and textures that fit in the landscape, and this really does.

I like this modern design Helen, the color as well as the structures, the lines and shapes. V
