Not the last gate after all!

I know I said this gallery was finished, and it is for daily uploads, but I’m beginning to think it never will really be finished because I keep finding new gates and simply can’t help but photograph them ;-).

Tim must have felt sorry for me after our hours-long gridlock ordeal on Saturday, and so when I mentioned that I hadn’t gotten any photos that day, he immediately headed for this neighborhood, which he thought I would like. And I did (but didn’t come away with my usual huge number of pictures). So here is one gate that I particularly liked.

Combining graphic and organic styles for a unified whole. A lovely piece of work. V

So elegant, but solid. No chance ever to get a glimpse of what lies behind it.

WOW! This one is, dare I say, almost a Hollywood over-the-top glitzy gate! But beautiful. Nicely photographed! V
