The architects of our Supreme Court Building incorporated elements of the many civilizations which contributed to the building of Jerusalem over the ages.This arched passageway between the courtyard and the offices could remind us of the Roman Cardo in the Old City.
Or perhaps a monastary cloister?
.
But for sure the shadows were shot for Hey Harriet blog's "Shadow Shot Sunday."

Such simplicity... and within beauty.
Meet me where shadows
bow over the passageway
like merry widows.
Carnival of Shadows
It would be a quite sober cloister, but the idea of something Roman fits almost perfectly.
love all the strong geometric shapes in this shot.....
I like such sober architecture better than the sumptuously decorated interiors of some churches. I like the latter as museums but not as places to pray and meditate. Whereas a sober church empties your mind and makes your spirit ready to meditate. At least that's my experience.
The photo is so beautiful, Dina!
It must be a little cooler in the corridor shadows during the hot, sunny days! Nice photo, Dina!
It looks like a cloister to me!
Beautiful shadow shot.
Soft shade of shadows at Nostalgic Marvelingplease come and see. Have a great weekend!
The perspective is beautiful and the shadows very cool.
My thoughts go to either a cloister, or some old university building... Lovely shadowshot!
Beautiful effect and shadows. This reminds me a bit of Turin's arcades, although they are quite different.
Beautiful. I'd love to walk there.
It is very cloister like. A beautiful building.
Looks like a painting. Wonderful picture. May its light make life kind and true for you all.
Please have a good Sunday.

the patches of sunlight remind me of sails or sharks fins, a bit like the Sydney Opera House.
Very nice shadows lurking within such a beautiful building. Your city has some impressive architecture!
To me there's something so compelling about an archway.
Terrific shadows, lovely composition.
The shadowy shapes make such an artistic photo. Very nice job, Dina!
Fabulous....almost biblical in shape and shadow.
