What lies beyond

We came across this neighborhood one evening on our way back home from a supermarket, and I was so intrigued by a gate I wanted to go back and see more. It’s not as upscale a neighborhood as the one I photographed last year, but I always find it interesting to see how people live here.

I probably shouldn’t post this picture because the original, at least (and this to a certain extent), was totally unsharp – again a problem of the same type with this camera. But it was an impressive gate that hints at a huge mansion beyond and is the only shot of it I have. Very discouraging performance from a not-so-cheap camera, though...

A straightforward house, posted earlier:

It reminds me of the 1970's for some reason. Great job with processing this. B

I think it is an excellent image, in my humble opinion. And the sumptuous gate is something else. V
