Mirrored gate and SP

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.

An interesting gate for a house I’ll post later. I seem to have gotten an inadvertent SP as well.

I’m terribly behind with Pbase today due to a variety of crises at work, but I’ll attempt to catch up at some point!

What I thought were clunky houses, posted earlier:

Although the massive walls of the gate and the building at the back dominate the image, the eyes ignore them at the first look and focus straight on the glass part of the gate. You succeeded doing this with a great POV by using the walls as framing elements. And the path of the light and colourful reflection there contribute this as well. Well done. V

That gate is quite ornate and quite amazing. Lovely shot of it. V

a novel idea for adorning a gate...visitors can check their appearance before entering..

They seem to compete each other for beautiful and impressive gates.V
