Overpass

This pedestrian bridge led the way out of the old city of Balad. I believe the person sitting here had gone to prayers.

I'm still working on the Balad gallery (but proving to be a long process!); the latest of the pictures posted today was this one of the Makkah Gate:

I like the contrast between the dark, curving lines of the bridge and the light, rectilinear form of the exterior stairway. V

Very good perspective and graphic appeal. Very well seen, Helen. V

Great perspective on the curve features of this bridge, interestingly it has a modern feel to it. V

Fascinating structure purpose built.Like the glimpses of the other buildings that look like highrise apartments.V

Such an attractive bridge creating neat shadows - a street person's home ?? I like your composition V

Nice bridge, but it's all looking a little untidy, Helen. I like the light and shadows. V

That is a great looking wooden structure. I can see why people might sit there.

An interesting image. It almost looks like a homeless person has set up 'home' here, but I very much doubt that is the case! V

Superbe, vous êtes allé dans des quartiers moins chics. V

Peter Sussex		10-Feb-2014 17:55
Attractive and skillful woodwork, a shame it is so untended. V

I too thought it was a rail station....V.

chris morton		10-Feb-2014 17:21
looked as though it should have something to do with railways from the thumb, but not sure there are any?

Great shot of the covered walkway, even though it looks like it not in a posh area! v
