The Beautiful Gate

The church near my work had fallen on hard times, so I figure it is about time for an update. I took a photo or two when I started with my current employer back in 2011. Here’s the original post. The truth is, it has changed again since the photo above was taken. It is slowly being rehabilitated, and is partly repainted and has a new sign. But the work seems to have stalled out so it is not clear what will happen next.

The Beautiful Gate Church, Oakland CA. (Click the photo to see it bigger.)

I rushed into work this morning, my second day on the job, hoping not to be late. And yet, just as I turned to go through the gate, I looked over my shoulder at the blinding morning light coming off the church across the street. I had no choice, but I took care of business as quickly as possible and hurried in. A study of changing light over time could be an interesting distraction.
