It can be hard to see the issue without the complete project, particularly when images are involved. You can share everything at once if you make a snapshot of your workspace and provide the link to it.

Success! It was the image tab - abdulrahman. Thanks for taking the time! was driving me insane haha.

Check your image tag or should i say img tag? Use clear:both; css for Footer element (I think this topic will come up withinin the next few lessons ).

I think it's because of #gallery being floated left. When things are floated they are taken out of the normal document flow and their height is no longer respected
