Straightforward

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.

This seems to be a pretty straightforward classic style, unlike many in this neighborhood, which range from opulent to clunky.

Still a rather impressive dwelling, but compared to many you have shown us, almost modest! V

Very nicely composed; the occupants obviously value their privacy. V

We have some homes here that have gates similar to this. I think they're pretty. V

the plain buildings benefits well from the ornate trim....the straight-up view works well here...
