Checkered gate

This is an old picture that I don’t think I ever posted, of a gate with a twist. I’m trying not to include pictures of the same gates but taken at different times (although I know a few have slipped in).

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!

A wonderful news and I would love to see the site under your vision ; Must be exciting, Helen. Meanwhile, back to the gate ... Lovely checker boxes captured with great side light. VVV
