Sanctuary


I was driving around in the far north of Phoenix last weekend when I passed this grand entrance with what looked like a very long drive.  I turned around to get a closer look wondering what this sanctuary was.  I drove down the long, well-manicured drive and finally came to a locked gate that was operated with a remote control or coded key-pad.  Behind it was a subdivision of houses.  From what I could see, the houses were nice but they weren't especially elaborate.  The entrance sure is.  It must make the people who live there feel like they are entering a little paradise.

  1. It seems a bit over the top. I thought it was for a cemetery when I first saw your pic, Sharon! ;-)

  2. I thought it was for a cemetery too. :)
    A gated community no doubt.
