The gate to where?

i really like that the small door is open as well... speaks volumes in that the wall/gate was constructed to keep things out yet this photo captures the embracing welcome it now beckons

Thank you very much Oly! Oly this is the gate to a Quaker meeting house - I suspect it has rarely been closed! Viv

Beautiful tones to the walls and lovely colours throughout. I love how the angle of the old rusty gate picks up the angle of the pillars. This really invites you to walk through. Lovely, Viv. Cat

How lovely Viv, good composition and nice textures. Gravel, leaves,wood and stone. Very nice to the eye!

Excellent. I have to agree with Oly_M. The open gates and small door make the image for me. I'm also wondering what it would look like covered in snow. Well done, Vab. Smile!

Lol Amanda, thank you - so I have to wait for a snowfall and rush down there! We don't get snow that often Sad

Lovely shot, Viv. Open gates and an open door - very inviting. Like the off centre comp and the framing of the scene beyond. Have you been in there? Jan
