Exotic

I thought this was an attractive Asian-style gate, but must admit I was more taken with the exotic design behind it.

Perfect for a Hollywood movie ! V.

Indeed - it looks like something right out of a more modern day 1001 Arabian Nights tale. Very well framed. ~BV~

Very interesting. I like the "Taj Mahal " feel. V

That gate certainly does make a statement. V
Gill Kopy15-Mar-2016 01:16
Certainly an Oriental look - the gate handles look like they could accommodate a giant ! Strange that there's never anyone around ! V

I am too short to reach the door knocker. One needs to drive up here with something like a Duck Tour vehicle. You are finding more and more extravagant gates.. I am so impressed. VV

There are some amazing architects/builders who put together these gates - each one a work of art, each one unique. And so interesting we get to see them through your eyes!
