Beautiful sky over this little community. These gates remind me a bit of the entries to military bases.

they are everywhere here. I don't think I'd live in a gated community. Homeowners Associations and me don't play well together. I do love the gate and the houses. REally nice colors!

Interesting concept. They are prevalent in some states, but I have not seen any in New York State. Of course home owners in New York have the legal right to shoot intruders...

A nice wide view of their entrance. The fees paid to live in a community like this can be high. High maintence on this sort of gate. And, hopefully they have a good plan to save for replacement of the recreational components, or everyone will get a big expensive special assessment. Beautiful photo!!
