Gate

This gate was situated on the other side of the complex where we hadn't been before. I don't remember it being on a hill, but it looks that way from this image. I might not have noticed since they don't seem to stop for pedestrians here so was trying to keep out of the way of cars.

Very interesting shot of the column with a digital clock face, and the three "faux gates" before it. a Fascinating combination of the traditional and modern. "V"

This is quite modernistic, yet those pillars give a 'classical' feel. Love the colour, and love you wonderful photo. V
