Here's one panel from the "Gate of Prophecy:" a large door inside the Syrian Monastery that includes symbolic diagrams depicting the past and the future of the Christian faith through the eyes of Christian monks of the tenth century.

Description:
Each panel shows a building from Sheffield’s past, that was located in the area of the market.

Comment:
Woodall was originally commissioned to initiate a more comprehensive project, but the money was unfortunately spent in the design and manufacture of the archways over the entrance to the market area and the entrance to Angel Street from Fitzalan Square.

Castle Gate
Castlegate is one of eleven Quarters in Sheffield's City Centre. It is now bound by Commercial Street and part of the High Street to the south, Exchange Place to the east, the road named Castlegate to the north, Angel Street and Snig Hill to the west. Castlegate is the main thoroughfare to and from the North of Sheffield as it links Park Square to The Wicker, although it is intended that the Sheffield Northern Relief Road will take this traffic when completed, allowing Exchange Place, Castlegate and The Wicker to be downgraded. Castlegate, built along a portion of the River Don, was the old location of the slaughter houses. It also served as a back entrance to the Alexandra Opera House as well as the market quarter situated on the site of the former castle of Sheffield, hence the name of the street and quarter.
In general, photographs of gates are more interesting when the gate is open rather than closed. Here I have one of each.
Gate to the Richardson House at Harmony Hall. My wife had to work, so I took a couple of cameras and spent over an hour at Harmony Hall Plantation.
Jan. 2013 A walk at the old Athens quarter of Vyron named after Lord Byron commemorating 100 years from his death.
The sky in Russia during summer is fascinating and absolutely great for pictures. I was slightly upset in the first place that the woman was in the picture but when I saw the picture on my laptop I liked the effect she created with her special haircut.
On Main Street in Fredericksburg, Texas. There are other rusty gates and ironwork behind the gates, between the buildings.
A gate on the Cleveland Way that doesn't actually go anywhere, taken on a brief break in the weather in rather a dull week.
Dublin Castle, Ireland
Things are going well for me here. I spent a couple days with Sandra and Reza, one night at Marco's dad's house in Fulda, then went to Kassel to see Candy and have an interview there. The interview seemed to go pretty well. Now, the only issue is that I would rather move to Frankfurt than Kassel, so I will have to apply again to the Frankfurt office. If nothing else, it was a really good interview experience, and it has prepared me for the next one.
I used Mitfahrgelegenheit today for the first time. That is a website that you can use to find out if somebody is driving to the place that you want to go, and you pay them some gas money. It's much cheaper than the train. It went pretty well. If I go to Kassel again in the near future I will probably use it again
Tomorrow I have to try to get my official registration done, since, as expected, I failed the first time. Things like this always happen in Germany.
Added to Cool Gray City of Love for chapter 32, "Happy Trails". This chapter is about dirt trails in the city. Kamiya mentions a few, and this one, near the top of Telegraph Hill, I had not heard of before. He said the gate had signs saying "Please Shut Gate" and "Farewell", but I didn't see those, only the "Stairs" sign directing the less-adventurous to the approved route.
