The green gate

I thought this gate was lovely, and again so different from the “usual.”

I’m sorry but I am so far behind with Pbase! This business with my newspaper being taken over by the Turkish government has become an all-consuming problem. Today was my so-called day off, yet I just now finished work. I think they are just trying to crush us out of existence, but I still have a staff of 10 copy editors to worry about, until the bitter end. Anyway, will try to catch up now!

Loved the composition here. The walls and the gate are, a sort of in a cascading order, and your shooting angle ties them together with the roundish pavement very well. V

Besides the beauty of the gate itself, I love the way you composed it to get the angles and contrasting straight lines to look so appealing. ~BV~

Not one is more beautiful than the others, they are ALL so Regal, beautiful ... I admire the work of the artisans who made them.

This gate looks huge - big enough to guard a fortress!
